i would suggest that if you are concerned about being spoiled that you avoid Jungle Noise once the Bengals go on the clock until such a time that you see the pick announced

I think it is because we are so good already there's no player that is going to put us over the top only slightly enhance our roster. I'll tune in because I still love the draft and the Bengals but won't be hanging on the edge of my seat as the draft pick is announced.

WTS HUGE SHOUT OUT to Holic and all the forum members that chip in around here. I remember it wasn't too long ago, that the forum would crash about 1 minute before the Bengal pick and stay crashed until about 5 minutes after the pick

But, someone will be the first to post and someone will complain they were spoiled.  If anyone wants to be 100% certain they don't know the pick until THEY hear it on tv the only way is stay off the Board until you have heard. This isn't the old days where the draft was only on cable access ESPN so everyone received the information essentially at the same time. This year it is being shown on 3 networks that can be accessed a dozen different ways all of which can show the same content several minutes apart
