Welcome to the club, I'm preparing myself to see a speedy WR or CB taken in the 1st round. Hell, Hobson would praise if we took 1st round CB every.......freaking.......year.

I like Peko a lot.  I'm up for keeping him.  But Sims and Thompson have been chronically hurt averaging 10 snaps a game.   Peko's great if he doesn't have to play more than 20 - 30.   Hardison and Williams are totally unproven and are reputed to be penetrating types not run stuffers.

Hopefully this is Hobson's take not Marvin's.

Hobson is a Bengals employee and he tends to reflect the thought around the office. Plus, we've got the same guy (Marvin) running the ship. If we lose some key guys, expect us to do the same things in order to replace them. Nothing in FA, and hope our 4th round rookie turns into a beast.
