I haven't really looked at the 2018 prospects yet. Is there a prospect that we know what contribute their rookie year?

Just to be clear for those that didn't pick it up. The title of this thread was from some article that CBS Sports wrote:
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/race-for-the-2018-nfl-draft-no-1-pick-loser-of-colts-bengals-has-a-real-shot/ I think the #3 pick is as high as we have a shot at. But while some on this board are talking playoffs...some people think we're one of the top 5 worst teams in the league.

If we get the #1 pick, tell me who the best guy on the board with an injury is because that is who we'll be picking. Ced, Ross, let's keep that tradition of projects that need to red-shirt alive.

We've been disappointing this year, but we won't be for pick 1. I say at worst we will be 9-13 range. I still think we have an outside chance of making the playoffs (35-45% chance).

Watching some of the latest drafts hasn't helped much. See, I learned in the Bungles 1990's and early 2000's there is one HUGE problem with rooting for and getting a top draft pick. That problem is your team is so awful draft picks aren't going to turn this pile of garbage around. If you could draft Superman, he couldn't help. This means you are picking so low you are rebuilding and years away from a Super Bowl. That's OK for you Kids, but I'm running out of years and time. As far as death goes, I'm on the clock in draft terms. Superman could definitely help this team. Good job on the paragraphs.

Colts
27th in points scored 32nd in points allowed 28th in yards 31st in yards allowed Blowout losses to Rams (46-9), Seahawks (46-18), Titans (36-22) and Jags (27-0) 2-5 record Wins were both by a FG over the Browns and 49ers, who are both 0-7 on the season. This reminds me...how do the Colts and Bengals have any shot at the #1 pick when the Browns and 49ers are both 0-7? Bengals 29th in points scored (Lazor's 20.5 PPG would rank 20th) 7th in points allowed 29th in yards (Lazor's 304.5 average would rank 25th) 5th in yards allowed Blowout losses to Ravens (20-0) and Steelers (29-14) 2-4 record includes an OT loss @ Packers Wins by 24 points over Browns and 4 points over Bills. The Bills are 4-2 with wins over the Bucs, Falcons, Broncos and Jets. ________________________________ The Bengals look like a 7-9 team with a great defense and an offense that's struggling due to a terrible line. The Colts look like a 2-14 team and are awful at everything. Plus they're playing in PBS. I'm as bummed as anyone, but we're not touching the #1 pick. We'll probably be closer to 10th.

This team is most likely somewhere between 5-11 to 7-9, 8-8 absolute best.
5th or 6th is probably as high as we'll pick but most likely we'll be around 9 -14 range.
10-27-2017, 06:52 PM
We'll be picking top 10. It'll be a boring first round, but it'll be nice to have a LT of the future.

OK, one more reason as an old man I have no youthful vision on blowing it up and gushing over draft picks for a possible Super Bowl 10 years from now. One more reason is, IF Mike Brown got lucky and drafted Superman....he would not pay what it would take to keep him on the team....so another wasted draft pick and wasted fan dreams of that draft. So I'm probably not going to be alive 10 years from now, if that. Nor is Mike Brown. 5 straight play-offs, we should have been trying to make THIS our decade with AJ Green, Atkins, Dunlap, Dalton. To now here rooting for losses to rebuild for 2020 to 2029 decade is just sad. I won't live to see that, nor will Mike Brown. Bengals should have tried to make a Super Bowl run THIS decade. Now we are just taking BUNGLES draft picks before World Series over as back in 1990's......I'm going on 63, have seen all 50 Bengals years, but sadly the last 27 years have been Mike Brown, not Paul Brown. No, I can't get excited about another Mike Brown Bungles year draft pick. Mike Brown lets the teams get so bad that draft picks will not turn his mess around. He is TOO CHEAP. That's it. HE IS TOO CHEAP... If Mike Brown could draft Superman, then watch him fly away faster than a speeding bullet due to Mike Brown going CHEAP and not paying him. Mike Brown who can leap over contracts in a single bound and be happy with 4 win seasons.

How about The Steelers are a good team and chalk it up to a bad 2nd half. Alot of pundits and analysts have the Steelers as the best team in football. Im not ready to write this season off yet.

Im not ready to write this season off yet. We definitely need to beat the Colts and Jaguars to have any chance this season. Get back to 4-4 and see what happens. Then, Titans/Broncos/Browns...we have to win 2 out of 3 of those. So we'd need to win 4 of our next 5. (The Jags, Titans, and Broncos are all on the road.) Then Steelers are probably a loss. Bears, Vikings, Lions, and Ravens we'd need to go 2-2 on...to get us to 9-7. Can we go 3-1 on these? Yes. Can we go 0-4 or 1-3 on these? Yes. On paper, we have a chance to win all of our games except the Steelers...but actually winning them is another story.

The Browns and 49ers both lost today, so they are both on a faster track to the #1 pick than the Colts.
10-29-2017, 06:28 PM
We could REALLY use a Top 10 OL pick.
After watching today's game, the OL struggled with pass protection (Dalton regularly getting up off the ground), run blocking (no holes for the RBs), and even ST blocking for punting and field goals (Huber was rushed and we had a FG blocked by a guy that walked up the middle untouched).
10-29-2017, 06:44 PM
I don't think it matters where we pick in the first round. If by some miracle it's a guard or center, they won't be re-signed after their rookie contract because we don't value interior OLinemen. On top of that, when Alexander the Great is given an extension and gets his say of who we pick, we'll be saddled with another shitastic lineman for 4-5 years.
The next most likely scenarios will be drafting a WR (that will basically be redshirted), a CB (who will definitely be redshirted), a pass catching TE who won't play much until he learns to block, or pick a position that the rookie we draft is injured so we don't have to worry about playing him year 1 any way. |
