#Bengals highlight great contribution Walton also made on special teams for Miami. Was on coverage units. "Will make Darrin Simmons very happy."

This screams, " Pearman replacement!"

Possible Gio replacement? Gio can be cut now or next year with little consequence.


He's a Gio-type, but we already have a Gio who is still young. Although Gio does have cap hits of $4.25 million and 4.55 million over the next 2 years. This does provide flexibility in case we need more cash for extensions and other signings. Other than that, I don't get it at all.

Sorry but if this guy can become our Alvin kamara, he’s better than gio. Kamara in one year has proven that gio cannot sniff his jock. And I like gio.

No one else has been drafting OT in this round so far. This is a weak OT class, so maybe a lot of the best ones left really only grade out to late 4th-6th.

Is it possible we could end up with 3 Buckeyes? Jamarco Jones could still be there in the 5th

If he can be a star ST player alone makes it great pick. But Peerman was a below average RB so my guess is he adds an element to our RB group as well. I just read he was not 100% at testing yet, but if no injury this year would have been 1st or 2nd round pick

The experts at ESPN and also NFLN loved him

Man, it's like The Russians got "kompromat" on whoever is drafting and is making a mockery of the whole thing. I mean,

"hey do they need a RB?"

no

"who can we pick"

anyone injured?

"Oh man, look at this guy. .. small, slow, not durable, missed last year with ankle surgery, questionable background, doesn't fill a need... perfect"

hahaha, he would have been a free agent!!

[Joelist]

Once we did not take the needed OT in the 2nd this was inevitable. The fall off from the top group to the next group is pretty steep.

Man, I didn't need to see those. I been trying to cut back.

Maddox was a wishlist item for me. Too bad

We only take a position of need if we have to reach a round to get the guy.

I think it’s going to happen

[George Cantstandya]

Looks like RB's and TE's are the popular choice this round.

Never said Kamara wasn't better than Gio, but how do we know this guy = Kamara?

[RunKijanaRun]

Won’t argue that there were bigger needs out there but you guys are going to like Walton.

As a Buckeye homer I'd probably bust a nut if that happened.

Mike Brown’s secret plan: Draft player whose friends and family are within driving distance for home games. Built in attendance and revenue.

We don’t but I’m not so sure new orleams knew exactly what they had either. All I’m saying is the guy has all the tools in the toolbox. And I still think they will address the Oline with a solid player in the 5th.
