Welcome Demetrius Knight

[Luvnit2]

I posted this in Fairchild thread as well. ZT's comment after the draft.

Was the thought process that Demetrius Knight Jr. wasn't going to be available if you had waited until the third round?

"Yes."

You felt like you had to go get him, and you felt good that Dylan Fairchild was going to be there in the third round? Did you feel confident that was going to happen?

"I didn't feel good Dylan was going to be there, but yes, that's how it worked out."

For a guy who's 25 years old playing against guys as young as 18, I would have expected him to be much, much more dominant. His stats and testing numbers are rather pedestrian. In fact his testing numbers are very similar, but slightly lower than Germaine Pratt. His scouting report reads pretty much the same as Pratt's, will be decent versus the run but could be a liability in coverage...

I just feel like they could have found the same guy, with a different face in the 4th or 5th, but as Bengal fans we've come to expect at least one "WTF?" pick in every draft.

I think this is a huge stretch. Most teams OL players are loaded with juniors and seniors. It takes a special athlete to start on the OL at a division 1 school and the SEC as well. A bunch of SEC RB's and TE's just got drafted as well. It is not like Knight was playing for Marshall in the MAC.

You see Pratt, I see a guy who knows how to tackle and Pratt forgot.
