Fingers crossed for Pratt

No we’re burying them for reaching for a TE nobody has heard of that they could have gotten two rounds later.

[BrownAssClown]

Well that was a quick pick, and BOOM! Commercial break.

[cinci4life]

And there's the customary commercial before the pick.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Rich Eisen screwed us anyway!

I am pretty sure that is what most people are referring to when complaining.

Oh, we're complaining about the first round? I thought everyone was pretty happy with how that went.

It's just a weak draft for LBs.

[CJD]

Mack Wilson is sitting right there. Let's see what we do.

Pshaw!  The only think that stopped "Drew Simple will go in the 2nd!" from being the statement of a madman was Zach Taylor's zeal for reaching for TEs!  Checkmate 

[RunKijanaRun]

Look out for Ryan Finley, NCSU QB.

Are you sure that team that just drafted a TE named Oliver wouldn't have taken him?

[tBengal]

It’s Pratt. Glad we finally got a LB.

Earlier today there were plenty of people clamoring for Mack Wilson in the second here... he's still sitting there. Hell, there hasn't been a single LB taken since we selected Sample lol. All those guys people are mad we didn't take are still sitting RIGHT THERE.

If they get a guy in the 3rd that most might have expected in the 2nd, and would have taken the TE in the 3rd, then it's six of one, half dozen of the other. 

But that's still too high to take a blocking TE that even Bengals coaches say should be an "adequate" pass catcher when they have needs elsewhere. Not having that blocking TE that you wanted is no big deal. His blocking is not going to make the team so much better that they're going to get that elusive PO win. 

If you're going to reach, reach at other positions like LB, DB or WR where those players have a chance to make more of an impact on winning a game. 

[Joelist]

My fingers are crossed for Mack Wilson. He fell because of run defense concerns, but pass defense he was rated best in the draft by several scouting sources.

Lol yea. Eisen is loving it. 

And really it's not a problem in the first 4 or 5 rounds it's the last two that they are always at commercial during Bengals picks when they are going by fast.

Ida know...they didn't let me in their war room for some reason.

[leonardfan40]

Just give me defense

Gardner-Johnson
Wilson
Pratt

all still there and don’t think they’d be a reach at this point

But you knew Sample would be available

...while crying about them not taking a position that's still sitting right there unchanged. The people who complain about them making a reach wanted them to make a reach.
