With our last pick in 7th round we get a WR from Florida State. Yeah, I hear they play pretty good football at Florida State, one of those Southern Power Teams I hear. Some Championships. Seminoles. Tallahassee. Paul Brown liked drafting big receivers as big targets. Trumpy, Colsett, Myers, Curtis, Collinsworth. Paul Brown loved his quarterbacks having big targets that you can see over the O Line and D Line. So it says this guy is 6'5" and uses his size and speed against defenders to get downfield and make big plays. Seems to me Trumpy, Collinsworth, Eifert and Chris Henry. Yes I do think I remember Collinsworth and Henry having a height and speed advantage, especially on deep bomb routes. Now some have mentioned haven't Bengals been trying to draft a Henry type in others on team. Yes, but since nobody has stepped up to be Henry like yet, why not last pick of the draft. Lets see, Collinsworth size and speed from Florida in Gainesville, The Gators. Tate size and speed from Florida State in Tallahassee, The Seminoles. I think these teams play each other a lot. Sounds like a good last pick in draft for Bengals to me. This gives Bengals 3 or 4 big guys on the bubble to step up and earn the Deep Bomb Randy Moss type spot on team. That is a sweet play, THE BOMB down the sidelines to the only guy with size and speed to reach up and catch it. That play, even people that hardly know football love to see that play. Why not, a 50 yard throw for a TD is fun, as long as it isn't Steelers doing it to us. With the 3 yards and a cloud of dust, it's nice to have THE BOMB. You know who would like this Bengals pick, Al Davis who demanded his Raiders throw THE BOMB.
