Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - BenZoo2 - 08-29-2017 It gives the bengals another chip at the table next year. See another guy they like in the 6th, trade 2 7s to get him. Or a 6 and 7 for another 5, whatever Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 08-29-2017 Thanks again Jim. Flowers has speed and can cover. He made some good tackles last Preseason but Jordan Evans looks clearly better. Nickerson does look slow but Dhani Jones was no burner and was a brain back there which is a bigger deal than some realize. It was Bell that got burned on the TD or am i wrong?

Of course the Pats will also make him a star. I just hate helping NE get better for no cost really. If it helps we will have 4 more 7th round picks next year when Comp picks are handed out knowing our luck. RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - TKUHL - 08-29-2017 Being serious though, it is nice to see us get something for nothing for a change. I'm sure he was going to get cut. 7th RD pick is fine with me, just another pick to bundle if we want to move up. As for the question why the Pats didn't just wait till he was cut to pick him up? Well isn't there a waiver wire order of some type giving teams dibs first. If it's like the draft order the Pats probably never would have had a chance at him unless 3/4 of the teams passed on him. Is this correct. RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - grampahol - 08-29-2017 Backup for NE and help with STs.. they wouldn't have gotten him on waivers anyway.. we get the 7th and though most 7th rounders don't make it many do. Just one less CFA to try to get... RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - Socal Bengals fan - 08-30-2017 Flowers is terrible. I never saw what you guys saw in him. He looked soft, was always injured did nothing for me. RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - Go Cards - 08-30-2017 Not a game changing move. But it is value (something for nothing) and will take that all day.

Is this correct. Yeah. Flowers, having a few years of special teams film on him, is a guy who would get claimed over say, an undrafted rookie. The Pats run a similar scheme to Bengals, so Flowers could jump in right away on special teams.

While true, that wasn't due to hidden gem status or anything, it was due to behaviour issues.

Which is like swapping for a good seat at a movie nobody really wants to see. We get a Borderline guy ahead of the Undrafted FA rush. Seems to say we had enough LB's and the Pats had a slot on spec teams. RE: Breaking: Marquis Flowers traded - OBX Bengal - 08-31-2017 I looked at the Bengals’ 7th round draft picks going back to 2000. I found two good players: T.J. Houshmandzadeh in 2001 and Jonathan Fanene in 2005. |
