maybe he was still tweeting about the 3 WRs taken right before us.....anyway, that left us with little choice......We have been bragging about all our 1st round CBs, at one time we had 5 on the team. Some are gone and others getting old. Teams hit you with 3 or 4 WR's, so you better be deep at CB.....Besides Dre, how about Dennard, I haven't seen all that much out of him......Jackson was the best player on the board considering the run on WR's......and who is to say one of these CBs doesn't get used at safety if needed. Injuries happen. .......I don't think Bengals care what Dre thinks about the pick. There was a run on WRs and the CB was the best pick at 24.

Dennard shredded his shoulder. I hear he is ok. But tackling seems to involve a lot of shoulder. So I worry about his longevity.
Pickman is not young.
Captain kirk is a free agent next year. MLJ and Sanu were too rich for our blood. The WR contracts were way cheaper than the CB contracts this year.
Crazy taking a 4th CB in the first round I agree. But the way the league is. Passing league. And price wise. Having first round CBs is a good thing.
Not even counting CLH. If he makes the team and Dre gets traded (in this scenario), he's the #5 CB at best.
Dennard can't tackle worse than Dre, seeing as how Kirkpatrick was among league leaders in CB missed tackles.
Adam might be getting older, but I will bet on the guy for the next two years who has been an All-Pro returner and Pro Bowl CB, playing at ridiculously high levels (and also missed 2 years in the NFL of getting beat up on).
You're also forgetting Josh Shaw, who looked pretty impressive last year.
Jones/Jackson/Dennard/Shaw.. I would take that CB group gladly.

Well our Run D has been stacked for some time our pass D has continued to be a liability so I don't see how one could be upset with the pick.

The tweet, I believe, was more in response to the WRs coming off the board than to the selection of WJIII.

Add that on top of the 20th ranked passing defense, and yes, Dre Kirkpatrick DID suck quite a bit. Adam Jones/Reggie Nelson balling out brought the average down vastly.
20th in yards. Cool.
The Bengals had 646 passing attempts against them. Ranking them 2nd in the league. Carolina was 1st with 4 more attempts.
Quarterbacks had a QB rating of 78.9 against this defense, 5th in the league.
Had 21 interceptions, ranking 3rd in the NFL.
Gave up only 18 TD passes, ranked 2nd in the NFL.
They are one of two defenses that had more interceptions than given up touchdowns (Carolina was next).
4th best in yards per attempt.
Also, Kirkpatrick was the 2nd most targeted player in the NFL last year.
Was he great? Absolutely not.
Did he suck? Well, when you're targeted as much as he was and you hold your own in one of the best passing defenses in the NFL, I think he did alright. Super star? No. Terrible? No.
Oh, and Kirkpatrick had 16 passes defended. That's the most on the team. Tied for 12th in the NFL.
That's more than Adam Jones ever had in his career.
More than Reggie Nelson ever had.
More than Iloka ever had.
Oh, and Kirkpatrick definitely didn't allow the other 17 passing touchdowns.
Sadly, ProFootball Reference doesn't do completion percentages or touchdowns allowed anymore like they used to.

Just shows his stupidity and immaturity STILL.
Does he not understand that Adam Jones is 32, Leon Hall is gone, and he seems to need to get ice after every tackle he makes? It takes a group known as your secondary, and they need depth and coverage should Dre Kirkpatrick decide he is the next Marvin Jones and/or Mo Sanu and decide to bolt next season in FA.
Grow up.

He was talking about the run of WR's because he knew we were interested in taking one at 24. This has nothing to do with the WJ3 pick.

DreK's tweet actually was sent out right when the Vikings selected Laquon Treadwell. I believe the intent of the tweet was to mean he was surprised by the fact all of Coleman, Fuller, Doctson, and Treadwell were off the board before the Bengals selected. Could be wrong though.
Either way, WJ3 pick was a safe pick for a clear BPA with no injury concerns. DreK enters his final year and Dennard enters his the following year and is coming off a season-ending injury. Not the ideal situation, but a good pick nonetheless.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Nailed it. Bengals spent a bunch of the season jumping on teams early and playing soft "keep everything in front of you" styles of coverage in situations where teams had to pass to try and keep up. That's a recipe for a pass defence that gives up yards, which is why people really need to dig deeper befire throwing out surface level yardage stats.

It doesn't help when some1 comes on here and makes it seem like he is being a whiney *****. It's hard to see the fineprint on that tweet, not gonna lie. Hopefully people get the story straight before next season lol

If you would pay attention, his comments weren't aimed at WJ3, they were aimed at the WR run right before our pick and he tweeted it before we selected WJ3. After we picked him, Dre actually welcomed WJ3 to the team.
