other than that I like Coleman, I also think Braxton miller would be the perfect replacement for sanu just way faster.

I like Thomas for us much more than Miller if we go a OSU WR.

For sure, it is not a good draft for #1 receivers but it is a great one for complimentary types.

Damn good thing we already have our #1 unlike some other teams.

The abundance of offensive weapons backfired because Marvin jones wanted to have more spotlight on him.

The bengals are clearly not as worried about it, because they aren't signing any wrs in free agency for loco numbers.

all good teams lose players.

I am not too worried.

Aj, Eifert, hill (hopefully bouncing back) is a great trio to surround dalton.

Plus, a solid, solid oline and defense that is improving with youth and talent.

Don't forget Gio who is great in the passing game and Rex and Kroft.

Plus guys like Alford and Kumerow do have talent.

I like Tyler Boyd or Sterling Shepard in the second. Boyd slower but compared very well to Keenan Allen. Shepard dynamic slot receiver and PR. No to Braxton Miller. Can't afford a project at WR right now.

Hands down,to me it has to be JOSH DOCSTON in the first round.He is a baller and to me the best in this draft.Fuller is blazing fast,BUT he is too fraile and will be injured in our division.Take a DT or DE in the second and go get Sterling Shepard in the third.To me this is the proper way to handle this draft year.If both of these receivers are available in the first and third,this would be a no-brainer.If we can accomplish this,we just added 14 points to every game,and to me we have to score more points this upcoming season.You know in our afcn,its going to be a shoot-out with the dirtybirds and the cheatin stoolers.WE MUST score more this coming season than last.Gotta have these two super studs.Please make this happen Mr.DUKE TOBLIN.

I think the Bengals would love for Josh Doctson to be there. But the 2 teams in front of us need a WR, and Vikings need one more than we do, and many mocks have doctson going directly before our pick to them. We arent in a great position for a WR, but hopefully the other teams have bigger needs.

Leonte Carroo will be a Bengal in Round 2 if he is there

And if Shepard is not there (and I doubt he will be) I'd be very happy with that guy.   He's tough, quick and has great hands.  PFF says he can play in the slot or outside.

Hope you're right.

I know many on this message board will not like this or agree, but I think Thomas from the OSU and Paroh Cooper are my favorites.

Treadwell just ran a 4.65 at his pro day. Yikes.

4.6 is about right for him. If you were expecting a low 4.5, you're thinking of a different type of player.

Pretty much solidifies his mid-late 1st round grade.

I expected around a 4.55 or 4.6 would have liked to see him run a tad bit faster but 4.65 isn't to much of a surprise and I agree it solidifies his mid/late 1st round grade. I do think that it makes it more likely he lasts to our pick/isn't the first WR taken off the board.

I expected better than a 4.6.

Treadwell's one knock is that he is not fast.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. He is great at everything else, he is just slow.
