I dont see any way peko is cut this season either way, he played much better last year when he was put back into a more even rotation. That said I want a DT in the first 2 rounds this year and I am all for grabbing two.

Every year, I see a lot of fans wanting a DT in the 1st couple of rounds, and every year we get reminded of the Bengals approach at the position. Marvin has never drafted a DT in the 1st and only one in the 2nd. Of the 11 DT's he has drafted, 8 came after the 3rd round...

1st-(none)
2nd- Still
3rd- Sims, Thompson
4th- Askew, Peko, Atkins, Hardison
5th- Shirley
6th- Langston, Toeaina
7th- McDonald

I would expect that to continue this year, especially with a relatively deep DT class.
