Oh well hindsight 20/20. Dennard over his career has been much better on the outside than the slot. The think about Dre k is the holding penalties. He grabs too much.

Thomas and AJ would have been amazing.

But I'm totally happy with Wjiii.

I disagree with you about Dre.   He has no lateral speed.  He is good on long routes or longer developing routes.  He just does not have the change of direction skills necessary to be a complete corner.   And he's a horrible tackler.   I think he's way over paid.

Dennard did SO much better this year in the slot, though I agree with you that his strength was press coverage on the outside in college.

And I would not be totally sick if we picked up one of the corners at 12.  To  me we only had one shut down corner last year.  It would be nice to have another.  And you can never have enough of them.

I agree with others who say that Marvin goes defense in the first round.  It could be a smoke screen, but I've never known Marvin and the Bengals to be good at that.  The consensus has been in the local media that they will not go OL in the first round - possibly the first 2.
