Im excited to see where a few players go:

Tebow - no description needed

Dunlap - round 1 talent but will likely drop due to stupidity off the feild

Hernandez - Most athletic TE in the draft, no question... Blocking? Whats that I just catch and score

Gerhart - Not as highly talked about as I thought he would be saying 4th best back

My vote for a future star - Eric Berry.. I HATE Tennessee and their clown like fans, but what a player, all the upside in the world. Just dont try to hit Tebow straight up ;). ENjoyed his NFL interviews.

I think all of the above could hold a major impact on that right team. What are your "sleeper" picks?

I'm pumped for it to be over. Count me in as one of those who hate how much hype the draft gets. They have been talking about the draft for about a month already, it is way over analyzed. Then the draft takes way too long. It's very boring to watch, I don't understand how people can do it.
 
I would love to see Big Ben get moved. I think it could really make the draft interesting.--Reports are steelers are looking for a top 10 pick-and I assume would go after a QB. Having said that, I highly highly doubt they talked with any of the top qb's in the draft. It would be interesting to see who they would take if any of this does happen.
 
I can't believe the Broncos took Tebow with both Clausen and Mccoy left on the board.

I liked the Bengals pick at TE. They filled a large hole. Daniel Coats sucks and couldn't catch a cold.
 
It's not where you are drafted, but how you play. Time well tell how good Clausen/Tebow/McCoy are. The bigger question is what happens to Tony Pike.

With clausen and mccoy still on the board, Tonys wait just got a little longer imo.



As far as the bengals, I believe they got a top 10 talent IF HEALTHY.... I also believe Dez Bryant is a top ten talent as well if out of trouble. Its a toss up I can live with..


Who are you options for the rest of the draft for Bengals? Mays, Dunlap, tate, would be my clear three. I would not mind the bengals picking up a QB in the later rounds, possibly a jeavan snead.

WR is much deeper than TE in the draft and the Bengals needed a TE more so I am pleased with the pick. Plus, by not taking Bryant, maybe the Bengals pick up Mardy!
 
Hate to agree with LivingLegend, but I agree. While he may play wide reciever, I don't think he is one of the best recievers on the board. I would be okay with taking him in the 5th round or later. I want Golden Tate. If not for anything else, his name is awesome.

5th round or later? Are you serious? Mardy Gilyard will make plays in the NFL and not just in the return game. The kid has a knack for making plays when needed. That's something the Bengals don't have. They do not have any receivers who are clutch. As much as I love Ochocinco, he is very inconsistent from game to game.

Your smockin the rock if you think Mardy will be there in the 5th round.

There is something about Mardy that some people just don't see. The intangable you can't point out. He has the "it" factor.

He always made the big play when it counted. Some people get it and some don't.

Not to mention he has 4.5 speed and a 40 inch vertical ( top 3 ).

Where the Ted Ginn's of the world have the 4.29 speed they lack the football player. The it factor. Mardy has that.

Plus field position is HUUGE in the NFL. You start at the 35 instead of the 20 each possession and that makes a huge difference.

Mardy is not a #1. He is a #3 that could eventually be a #2.

You may have better recievers but your team is better with Marshawn Gilyard without a doubt.

These posters are clearly not watchin all the games. People want to get caught up in his size and say he didn't do anything verse Florida...

He also tourched Va Tech and Oklahoma. He is a playmaker and will always come up with the big play when you need it.

Great attitude. These are the people that want Taylor Mays (bobbywilliamssucks)

Taylor Mays is a freak athlete but has low football IQ and is definately not a winner.

Same people grill Tebow tellin me he sucks and will never do anything in the NFL. Give me Tebow any day becuase he is a winner. He is damn skilled too.

Golden Tate is like mardy IMO.
 
I like him, I would be cheering for him if he was on the Bengals, I just don't think he is one of the top recievers out there. I hear a lot of people saying we need a deep threat, and that Gilyard would be great for that. I don't agree with that statement. I think he would be a good slot reciever, but he's no deep threat. He is a catch and make play type of reciever.

Big Timer had how many yards playing top talent? 40 or so?? Cmon

Mardy put up huge numbers against mediocre talent. Playing against top talent (Joe Haden) he did little to nothing.

I would seriously take Riley Cooper over Mardy late in the draft... Here is why. Cooper is 6'3 215 pounds, physical WR who will block and knock your head off. He is by no means slow either. This is not Mardys game... Bengals have developed into a Bruiser type team. Add one more... Cooper was FLoridas deep threat too, not saying he would be at the next level, just saying he is not just a blocking guy.

While mardy threw up 40 yards in the biggest game of his life... Cooper had another typical day at the office posting 190 or so.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuFI2X64YoQ[/ame] Ridiculous catch.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x28qN6akmK8[/ame] Big hit as a frehsman. Dont see Mardy doing anything like this.

Riley Cooper was going against UC's defense.

Joe Haden didnt cover Mardy and that is a fact. He gaurded Armon Binns (who did score on him).

Your a Florida blow hard and that is cool cause I am the same way with UC. Mardy did dominate average talent.

He aso dominated Oklahoma and Va Tech when we played them.

Not everyone needs to come from SEC country. Look at the top recievers out there. Marshall, TO, Chad, Randy, Santana Moss....

I am not saying Mardy is that type of player. I am saying Riley Cooper benefited from where he played and who he played with.

Mardy is about as slippery as they come and could do very very well verse nickel back and #2's. Not to mention he is good for 2 returns in the kicking game. He gets it. He got locked up when Florida refused to let him beat them.

Cooper over Mardy would be insane to every GM in the draft.

This is also coming from a guy who says Snead should go over Pike. You drunk??? When they were at the combine it was a absolute joke to compare those two. Again, just cause one was in the SEC doesn't mean all that much. Tony makes throws Snead could only dream of. (Not saying Tony will be great but I know he is waay better than Snead.)

Hits are great. I prefer touchdowns and leadership.

I also saw Jerome Simpson jump over someone.... Some people make a great play and it is posted all over youtube.

LL can have Riley Cooper. I'll take Mardy over him any day of the week. I want a versatile receiver not someone who will only be able to block at the next level. There is a reason why Cooper may not even get drafted.
