No OT/LB.

Interesting that we went with an 8th receiver?

Not impressed with Perine. Didn't have a great game against us in the preseason.

Former Bengal notes.

Browns claim Malik Jefferson
Giants claim Core

I like the additions and here is why :

Both are very young like extra draft picks

Cooper has been in Pro Bowl as Kick Returner 

Perine is the All-Time rushing leader for Oklahoma Sooners, which IS impressive. 

Again, both are very young like extra draft picks.  There is great upside to both young players.  Cooper 24, Perine 23 the ages of 2 extra draft picks which Bengals need with so many draft picks last few years who didn't pan out, and due to new head coach and NEW DEY. 

When in doubt, go with youth.  These are 2 solid young players.  One an NFL Pro Bowl already, the other the Oklahoma Sooners All-Time rushing leader ahead of Billy Sims. 

Look for Pro Bowl kick returner Cooper to fill that role. Bengals lack depth behind Mixon and Bernard and that's where Perine fills a huge need. For RB depth, I like the idea of Oklahoma all-time leading rusher. Bengals have had some good RB's from Oklahoma in their history, a team that likes to run the football. Mixon and Perine were on same Oklahoma team. Coach Taylor knows Cooper from LA Rams. Perine as #3 RB for now and the 23 year old could help his future by learning some special teams tackling and such.

Again, at ages 24 and 23 these are like 2 extra draft picks, only better. One already in Pro Bowl.

NEW DEY.....GO BENGALS.....Now people didn't think Taylor was going to keep all of the Marvin last place Bengals, did they ???
