Hobspin doesn't know much about the draft and usually doesn't have a great track record it don't seem during his mock drafts for the Bengals. The guy admitted the other day that it is hard enough for him to come up with a mock selection for pick #9 because the draft is unpredictable....what else is there to research for the Bengals this time of year but yet the guy seems to have very minimal knowledge of the draft in general and no inside information when it comes to the Bengals (maybe because he does these media mock drafts and the Bengals don't want him tipping off anything?)
He doesn't know much about the specific guys they are eyeing I'd say, but he does tend to hear about interests from the coaches. We can't claim Hobson is prepping people before FA based on orders from managment and then pretend like he knows nothing about the draft. I think historically he hasn't seen draft boards but he knows the coaches sentiments on positions. For years he has said no way we move on from Bodine, this year he doesn't seem so confident.
