Who did you mark out for?

[QueenCity]

I'll go with Rey Maualuga - only defensive players jersey I ever purchased.

Did not have the career I would of had expected coming out of college.

Yep maturity issues and not taking care of himself definitely hurt him. Probably could have been much better even without the natural speed if he would have been more disciplined.

No one said Sean Brewer?


Seriously mine probably was either Big Willie or Rudi.

Two packs a day keeps the doctor away!


I recall being worked up over the Bengals cutting Ron Duggins and keeping that fumble prone kick/punt returning WR TjJ Hou-whatever-the-heck! I remember a couple of games lost due to his butter fingers.

Hopefully everything turn out alright for the kid...

6'3, 230lbs, ran a 4.43 (really a ~4.30) with a 41" vert and 10'5" broad? Just a freak.

Somewhere in the back of my head I still think he could have worked out if they had just immediately moved him full-time to LB, but the Bengals were still enamored with the extra heavy slower LBs over speed. I think he was just born about 6 years too early. Much like how Burfict was born about 10 years too late.

He actually played well for us in 2013 as a LB until he got hurt!

Paul Dawson for me. I thought the Bengals had the steal of the draft by getting him in the 3rd round.

Before that, I thought David Verser was going to be an all-pro receiver.

My 2 were Big Daddy & Ki-jana Carter. Big Daddy never became who we thought he would & Ki-jana pretty much derailed his career with 1 carry in the preseason. My 1st jersey purchase was Ki-jana's about a month before he blew out he knee. I had to special order it from Footlocker, they had'nt got any in yet.

Guess the lack of speed did matter with him - he ended up being pretty good just not nearly as dominant as he was in college.

Loved the Rey pick... Was a bit bummed we missed Little Animal by 1 or 2 picks...   (wrestling callback)

[Sled21]

I won't say I "marked out", but I had high hopes for Margus Hunt. He did not play to his potential.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Reinart Wilson and Peter Warrick.

Nice one as I got hyped about the Warrick pick.

Yes sir.... being a long time FSU fan, I was hyped about both of them. Wilson never really did anything. Warrick had a some moments, but poor QB play early, and injuries late I feel like contributed a little to his underwhelming career.

You pulling for Keon Coleman to the Bengals in round 2 this week?

Fiske as a combine star intrigued me as well.

Not against Keon, he has a high bust potential to him, but you cannot deny his talent. Gamechanging talent.

Love Johnny Wilson, just needs to work on his hands as I heard he had a high drop rate last year. But with Wilson's size and speed 
he could be a special player.

Lot's of Noles I would love this year, not against drafting Jared Verse at 18 and would love to get Trey Benson the RB in the 3rd or 4th.

[*ochocincos*]

When T.O. was added in 2010.
I thought the offense was gonna be dynamite.

Wilkinson*

What happened to him? He played very well for us (and the other teams he played for) for over a decade and cemented himself as a meh 1st overall pick, but a great player nonetheless.

Yes, and was a force for the Noles inside. I would love to find a way to get him in the draft.

Verse is a game changer....and Benson would be huge in one of those rounds. Fiske and Verse I feel could be substantial contributors in their rookie years. Benson would be a nice luxury. The two WRs are a little raw, but Coleman would instantly be a nice return man.
