The new kid no one is talking about

[Forever Spinning Vinyl]

Here's a post I put on his thread after he was drafted. Not sure if I should be thrilled with our 7th round addition . . . or concerned about our 3rd round LB

Quote:I feel that not enough is said about picking up this kid. He looks outstanding for a 7th rounder. Granted, this is only NFL.com but this is where I started and found out something

4 players have the same ranking of 5.63, ranked from 99-102 overall . . . 3 of those 4 are now Bengals
Kris Boyd 7th round pick 3 CB - Minnesota Vikings
Jordan Brown 7th round pick 9 CB
Rodney Anderson 6th round pick 39 RB
Germaine Pratt 3rd round pick 9 . . . i.n.t.e.r.e.s.t.i.n.g

Of the 31 CBs drafted, only three were drafted after Brown yet he was tied with Kris Boyd as the 14th/15th overall ranked CB

This kid looks like he slid because he didn't face stiff competition on a weekly basis. He's low enough on the depth chart that he can be coached up. This seems plausible now that Marvin Lewis is out of town.
