You're repeating yourself over and over.

Another outstanding selection by the Bengals. They are getting great value with their selections thus far. Letting the draft come to them and then killing it with their picks. Turner is going to be a really good addition to the CB room.

WHO - DEY!

[Garrus]

I think we might go RB or TE now in the 3rd

Yeah, for an OL. He’s fine. I still love that we have Cappa. Cappa doesn’t necessarily keep Torrence off the field.

If any fanbase should get the importance of OL depth, it’s ours.

I did not repeat myself. Find the multiple posts where I said the same thing.

I’ll stop bitching now. Turner’s our guy and I hope he kills it.

[Gdale_Bengal]

I’m happy with this selection. They have a good corner here and upgrading the depth. No more Eli Apple

....you'd think a secondary whisperer could make things work with a LITTLE less resources.

they obviously wouldve slid Torrence to LG

With the cbs getting dinged up last year, depth and a potential awuzie replacement after this upcoming season, not bad at all. Bengals drafting really good athletes in early rounds last year and so far this year. The secondary can fly. Hill, ctb, awuzie, rush, Scott, all under 4.5 40s.

I bet Lou's happy!

Man, we'll have to disagree then. Orlando Brown turns 27 on Tuesday. We'll have to chalk him up to being long in the tooth as well. Sub-30 is definitely not what I would consider "aging" for anyone other than a RB. 

[CJD]

I wanted Juju Brents, but DJ Turner was my 2nd choice among the remaining CBs that I thought would fall to us (Didn't expect Cam Smith or Joey Porter to fall to 60).

I was nervous we were going to take Ringo, so I'm glad we avoided that bullet.

Now I'm looking at offense in the 3rd. Give me Tucker Kraft, Dawand Jones, Jalin Hyatt, Josh Downs, Darnell Washington, Cedric Tillman, Devon Achane, Tyjae Spears, Tyler Scott, Tank Dell or Roschon Johnson.

I realize the Bengals historically don't take the small WRs, so Scott, Downs, Hyatt and Dell are probably out, but they'd add explosion to our offense, which would be welcome. There's so many tiny WRs in this draft haha.

[BengalsLUFC]

Offence now please.

Some notable Bengals secondary 40 times

DJ Turner 4.26?
Dax Hill 4.38?
Cam Taylor-Britt 4.38?
Tycen Anderson 4.36?

Most teams DB selections look like that.

You are having a hard time embracing winning and the completely different dynamic it creates in rosters and the draft aren't you? The more you win it usually stands to reason the better your roster has become be that thru free agency and/or the draft. Your starters are of higher caliber so the later you draft the more difficult it is to draft starters. Great teams must have depth that is also of high caliber. These are good things.

I said that earlier. He could have easily slid over.

Again, done whining. They missed an opportunity, and they took a guy they really didn’t need. Don’t like the pick at all, but it’s done and I’m hoping for the best.

Didn't even think about anderson, Bengals have to have a top 5 fastest Secondary I'd think.
