Marvin thinks there's a RB in this draft close to Zeke Elliot in talent

[Big Boss]

He also suggests the Bengals may take a RB early.

Quote:In early March, at least one coach was willing to be a little more positive. Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said his team loved Elliott in the days leading up to the draft last year. They had him rated as the best player. Lewis believes there is a running back in this draft who might be "close" to Elliott's talent. Obviously, he won't say who.

Asked if a team might take another leap and pick a running back early, he said, "We might be that team."

Of course, this could all be smoke and mirrors because that's what the months leading up to the draft are all about. Or maybe the league's attitude toward running backs is changing a little.

Lewis said Dallas' pick last year "opened up eyes."
