I don't know man, weird stuff happens every Draft and after that combine...
I don't put much stock into the Combine but lots of teams and coaches do. They will see a player that seemed not to put out
effort and doesn't look strong. Even though i see better on the strength part, he has hell of long arms, understandable he is
not good in the bench press.

This is why I hate the combine. Good players drop because of their 40-yard dash or their high jump. I get the need to interview players and all, but show me game film instead of his 40-yard dash or high jump or even bench press. I think Orlando Brown will be a solid player in the NFL and if the Bengals grabbed him in the 2nd round, I'd be ok with it.
I think they need to get a Center first. It would be great if Tremain Edmonds or Vea was available at 21 and Price/Daniels/Ragnow available in the 2nd. Won't happen though.
Yeah, Edmunds and Vea will be long gone before 21.
But it is not out of reality for one of those top Centers to fall to us in the 2nd at all, actually see it happening.
Especially after Price and Ragnow's injuries. I think Daniels will now be the first Center taken.

I would love to see the Bengals slide again in Rd 1, get Brown for RT, and then Ragnow for Center, and Shaq Griffin as LB. Turds become backups, LB has coverage skills and speed to burn in nickel package.
And for those saying Griffin is too small. He's almost identical to Odell Thurman, but faster, and not an idiot.
Would be very happy with this even if i think Brown will fall. Would have the biggest OT's in the NFL i am pretty sure, a good
Center and a speedy Linebacker. Would love it.

We haven't really been solid at C since R. Braham
We could get our pick of the Center we like this way...

Word is he is about to be highest paid LT. If Glenn was a FA he would have as much of not more interest.
Glenn’s contract is about to look really good, i think

Damn, this trade was just amazing. Also like what Sled said about playing next to Boling in college. Already have chemistry.
Fits like a glove.
