My .02 on Blue.
I loved watching him in college. He was as big a hitter from the Safety position as there has ever been and thats not an exaggeration. However he did that from deep as a FS not as a SS. The problem this presents in my eyes is that he is WAY too slow to play FS in the NFL. His coverage skills are on par or worse than Mike Doss's ever were.
So here's the delima. Monster hitter running up from FS, a truely special player in this regard, but probably too slow to play anything but SS in the NFL(if that). Can he still hit like that from SS or can he move to OLB? The fact you have to ask these questions is going to lower his draft status but if you get a yes to either one and get to draft a player like him 3rd round or later you have a steal.

Now back to the topic at hand....
Marvin will keep this train on the tracks.
I really hope that we do not have a Chris Perry kinda pick meaning going for the Best available talent. We have real needs and they need to be filled before we get redundancy.
Give me a 350 lb fat ass for the middle of the line, a saftey that can tackle and then a TE if there is one available. THEN get the best available talent.

Rumblings from today's Dispatch....
Quote:
Coach Marvin Lewis made a point of vouching for receiver Chris Henry’s character when the Cincinnati Bengals drafted him out of West Virginia in the third round last year, even though he was once ejected for making an obscene gesture and some people in the Mountaineers program voiced frustrations with his alleged immaturity.
Still, Lewis apparently doesn’t see anything incompatible in that and what has been happening with Henry’s two recent arrests. Henry was arrested Jan. 28 in Florida on three gun-related charges — possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm — and also goes to trial in Kenton County, Ky., on March 22 on a marijuana charge.
Lewis said at the NFL combine in Indianapolis last weekend that the problems Henry is having now aren’t the kinds of issues that the Bengals investigated. He said Henry faced on-the-field problems at West Virginia, not legal ones, and that the Bengals thoroughly looked at those issues before drafting him.
Even so, there seems little doubt that Lewis has just about run out of patience with Henry, even though he has some talent. When Lewis was asked whether Henry was down to his last strike, he quickly said, "That’s my business."
Chances are what happens to Henry will depend upon whether the Bengals believe they have reasonable options.

Given the list of players the Bengals met w/ last week- http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.d...50409/1066/SPT , I think Marvin is thinking along the same lines as all the fans on here, and the mock drafts-DL,SS,TE, maybe an upgrade at CB. If Hester is available in the 3rd round, he would be an intriguing pick. Ideally, the Bengals could sign a veteran DT like Sam Adams, so they don't have to use an early draft pick for one. DTs are perhaps the biggest boom/bust prospects in the draft, along w/ QBs. Gerard Warren is also available as a FA, I believe...not sure if him and Marvin would see eye to eye, tho.........
Ideally, the Bengals 1st 3 rounds would go 1st-Bing SS, 2nd-Lewis TE, 3rd-Hester CB/WR (the Bengals have talked w/ him about playing both ways), or best DT or CB talent available-James doesn't have much left in the tank-Ratliff could start in 07, and the rookie could be the nickelback in training this year.
