Will be fun watching Mason Graham (CLE) and Derrick Harmon (PIT) feasting on Volson and whoever on the interior of the Bengals line.

He has the physical abilities, and yeah I wish they had taken Harmon, but let's just hope there's quality guards or d tackles available in the 2nd and 3rd.

You and everyone else can "hope" all you want. That's never won an NFL team jack shit. 

Steeler's have no 2nd round pick and no starting QB yet.

That is interesting. I thought at a minimum they would try and get Sanders, Dart or Milroe to develop

We have to look at it that way. I understand the disappointment, but we have to live in reality.

The coaches we fired failed. We will see if the new ones will. No one can deny Shemar Stewart's talent and the fact he had good pressures which
lead to sacks. I wanted the production of Mike Green or James Pearce but both had character issues.

I hope he makes any of unhappy with the pick show us we are morons.

I have trust in Golden, if he wanted him over others, then his job to develop him and the defense

Different sport but I have watched Hornets fans melt down over the last couple draft picks only for the guy everyone wanted to disappoint while the guy nobody wanted actually played well.

I think none of us really know but let's hope he shocks all of the people disapointed.

Neither has lack of hope

Imma say they are better at judging talent than us

The DC didn’t make this pick. Be real. It’s Duke Tobin, Mike Brown, and a little of Zac Taylor.


What’s more likely, the entire world saying this dude is a bust already or our “faith in Golden”. lol some of y’all have blinders on so hard. I love the bengals, always will. I just give them tough love until the can prove me wrong consistently.

Uhm. That's the whole point. He doesn't finish.

How dumb does Golden sound right about now?

Mybe take a chill pill. This is just a dumb statement. Every fan base hopes their team wins it all and some get lucky enough to see theie hoped come true. Do you think Eagles fans who had one of the worst defenses in the NFL did not hope they woud fix the defense.

Speak for yourself, my hope has had multiple game winning interceptions.

I read your earlier post BobJones about not following this Draft so I will just say this buddy. Shemar Stewart is about as talented of a dude as we
could pick, way more talented than Myles Murphy. The lack of production is obvious, but with our new DL coach in Montgomery we might have a 
chance of developing these types of players. Hobby our old DL coach was terrible at developing young OL in my opinion.

This message board is not the entire world. Many experts had Stewart going much higher

Thanks for the insight on the pick. Can say I had no idea, but the information is interesting, to say the least. Last time I hated a first rounder was the John Ross pick. Hopefully he goes from a guy with a bunch of question marks to a production.

I know most players suck at interviews, but I watched his and it didn't give the Who Dey flowing.

Sleeper pick for the Bengals in the 2nd round: Xavier Watts. Golden coached him at Notre Dame, and he's a damn good Safety as well.

Who are you referencing here? B Mill was an easy pick and everyone knew he was going to ball. Maybe a few were upset about his off court stuff.
But Salaun, was just like this, an obvious awful pick at the time it was made and we saw this year that Salaun can’t play basketball

I’m not talking about the board. But yes, looks like board doesn’t like it.

I guess we know why nobody wanted to trade up with us for Sanders

Sometimes pressures are better than sacks and let's just hope the coaches see a way to work with him to improve.

That's why I'm keeping myself in check because while I would have loved Harmon, this isn't a Mike Brown run organization anymore and I actually trust our coaches to know more than all of us.

The ones who failed to develop Murphy and the rest are gone.

You sweet summer child. 

Name some Bengals coaches that were good...hell, name some that were decent, at development over the last 20 years or so.

Dane Brugler, who I think is pretty smart, has Stewart ranked #9 overall.
