Tonight I got the chance to speak to Alex Marvez and Gil Brandt, on Sirius XM, about the Bengals draft. Here are the highlights of the conversation.
1. With the WRs off the board they felt WJ3 was the right pick. Alex thought it was great that they took him right before Pitt. Said it just adds fuel to the rivalry. Gil said he thinks he is the defensive playmaker that the Bengals have lacked in the secondary. Thinks he could be one of the best CBs in the NFL in a couple years.
2. They actually think Boyd is going to do big things. He might be the best receiver in this draft. Just what the Bengals needed. Said Charles Davis called him the technician. They even mentioned the word BEAST which they don't use often.
3. I asked if Gil could talk a little about Vigil since I didn't know much about him. He said we should be very excited about him. Very athletic, smart, and a true tackler. Will be our starting MLB in a couple years and for many years to come.
4. They thought Billings and Westerman were great value picks. Both being nasty and strong fitting well in the AFC North. Thought overall the Bengals had a great draft. They think that they got quite a few picks that will be the heir apparents to aging starters now.
WJ3 - Adam Jones
Vigil - Maualuga
Billings - Peko
Westerman will get a lot of playing time if not become a starter. Boyd will make us forget about the losses at WR this off-season.
Really excited about this draft. Hope it is as special as I think it is. They seemed to think so. Can't wait for the year to start.
WHO DEY!!!
