He introduced the long time season ticket holder who is going to hand the Jersey to our pick, and as they were sitting down they were talking about the pick, and Marvin asked him who his pick was. The guy says Oline. Marvin says "what makes you think there will be an olineman left worthy of that spot. Kinda tells me he thinks there are only a couple worth the 21st pick....Then Marvin is an idiot. Does this mean with a draft containing Miller, Brown, McGlinchey, Williams, Christian, Nelson, Wynn, Corbett, Hernandez, Smith, Daniels, Price, Ragnow, Cole, Clapp he doesn't think there will be any O Linemen WORTHY of being a Bengal. Nonsense. We need blocking and we need a Center. Just take Ragnow, Daniels or Price in ONE. We get our Center and it sets up Round 2. In Round 2 we won't need a Center, so we can take a Round 1 talent that falls to us in early 2, no matter what position he plays. There will be Round 1 players fall to 2, and Bengals can use help just about everywhere. Taking the Center sets up Round 2 and really rest of the draft. Get Center out of the way at the top
MESSAGE TO MARVIN & MIKE BROWN : What makes you think you can get a center at pick 46 ? Ragnow, Daniels and Price could all be gone since teams are looking at all of them in 1 or before we pick in 2. Bodine gone, the top picks gone and now you are forced to go lower level centers in draft. That would be Marvelous, Marvin. By getting cute in Round 1, we end up not getting any of the 3 top centers. Look Marv & Bengals, Lapham is right. The long time fan handing out the uniform is right. Take the Center and don't get cute or you may get shut out on centers. Taking the center sets you up perfect for Round 2 and rest of draft anyway Marvin. Just take the Center in One. Lapham is right on this one as is the old season ticket holder.
