Draft

[ROBERTFREEMAN]

I know its early but we are a third of the way through the season, so I have been thinking about who we need and what position we should look at early. I am thinking with our first few picks we need to go Saftey, DE, LB, RB and maybe even WR. We have the extra second from Oakland still and it should be early. What and who do you think we should get?

I would say LB, S, DE, possibly RT if A Smith leaves

I also kind of think we may need to get another CB early if David Emerson or Johnathan Banks were some how available I dont know if we could pass them up? I said last year that the CBs are finally starting to evolve like all the other positions did years ago. These 5'11 6'0 CBs wont cut it against this new breed of WR like Green and Calvin and Julio and Stephen Hill, the list is getting longer too, now guys who used to be considered safteys in high school and college because they where big and fast are starting to be developed as CBs and we are gonna need one on our team.

Position by position

QB - Good to go at starter. Not sure how much longer Bruce will be here, but I'd rather go veteran than draft for our backup. No draft need.

FB - I'm OK with Presley, but would not object if they wanted to upgrade. Zach Boren anyone? Not a draft need, but who knows.

RB - After a decent start, I have soured somewhat on BJGE. I also think it may be time to look into a replacement for Scott. A draft need. First 2 days possibly, and possibly 2 picks.

WR - I'm comfortable with what we have. But if someone slides to the point where he is a value, particularly on Saturday I'd be ok with that. No draft need.

TE - Top 2 are good to go. Might consider a late pick or CFA on a blocking TE. No draft need.

O-line - Not an early need unless Andre gets away. May want to upgrade Roland though. Possible late round need, to possible round 2 need.

D-Line - Depends on re-signing MJ93. If he gets away it's an early need. If he gets re-signed, I'm content, even if we lose Geathers. Possible draft need

MLB - I believe either Rey steps up and keeps the job, or Burfict moves to MLB next year. We also have Muck who is solid depth. No draft need. (I'm probably the only one who feels that way).

OLB - Early need. Lawson has regressed, and Howard is coming off a serious injury. I would consider this a first 2 picks need. Dontay Moch could change that, but I'm not holding my breath.

CB - I see this as an early need. None of our CBs can run with Wallace or Torey Smith. And I'm not entirely convinced Dre is a man CB. Hall is a solid #2 when at full strength. But if we could get a great CB in 1, I'd jump on that.

SS - Definite need. I don't see it in 1, but I'd love Vaccaro in 2.

P/K - No draft need.

Well, it was a good run. But when draft threads start popping up in here, i start to think the season is over.

Thanks guys. After the Reds blew their chance yesterday, you couldn't make me more depressed.

It seemed right though. If the Reds couldn't go on a run, what hope do the Bengals have?
