RD. 4 - 111th Selection:
101) Jamari Thrash - WR - Louisville - 6'1" 185
Thrash does not jump off the board with elite skills and will be 23 years old as a rookie but what the tape of this young man shows is a football player. Thrash while not elite in any one area is really good in most of them that matter. His long speed is not elite but he absolutely can get behind defenders and make them pay. He has shown to be very instinctive and is a natural hand catcher. What he lacks in elite ability he makes up for with superior technique as he is a very good route runner that sells his route disguises to defenders to exploit them. Thrash should be a welcome addition to the WR room and provides yet another weapon for Joey B.
Still on the board with this selection: 96) J. Bell - TE, 98) M. Sainristil - CB
RD. 5 - 142nd Selection:
135) Dallin Holker - TE - Colorado State - 6'5" 235
By this time most should know that to play TE for the Bengals you must be able to block and that is an aspect of the game that Holker has shown that he understands. To go with his blocking ability Holker has shown very sneaky speed and outstanding hands. Holker needs to work on being able to separate with his route running but while he does not always work to separate he has shown the ability to make the catch in traffic. Holker should be able to add more mass to his frame and keep his athleticism. He should be a really good addition to the TE room that more than likely will return both Hudson and Sample.
Still on the board with this selection: 126) J. Burton - WR
