[The Blue Blur]

Well, I'm glad you like the pick. I for one don't understand the pick. We have Jermaine Gresham who is a Pro Bowl Tight End and then we have Orson Charles who is really good too. On top of that we have Alex Smith who is a decent 3rd string TE.

I figured they would have either gone with a RB or defensive player.

He for one is a Colts fan, so it really doesn't matter. Secondly he is a Notre Dame fan & is just glad to see someone from his school go in the first round. I like you, was in confusion & somewhat still sick over it. While I can live with it because Eifert is one of the better receiving TE's in the draft over the last few years, we already have Gresham as a pass catcher. Gresham has gotten better with his blocking, but two pass catching TE's can be dangerous. I think Jay Gruden, is thinking of an offense similar to the Patriots with Gronkowski & Hernandez. However, I would have been happier with a TE with better blocking skills to support the edge running game.

At that pick, I was thinking trade down for more picks. However, I would have been pleased with Eddie Lacy or Matt Elam at that point. Now we're looking at maybe getting Jonathan Cyprien at safety. SMH. But we're have to pull the trigger on a safety in the second round, as Cyprien & Swearinger are the only two left that could come in & possibly take on a starting role. With the early trade ups for Jordan & Austin, I was really hoping for Vaccaro to fall to us. I was really hoping Saints would go for Jarvis Jones. Be prepared for more shocking picks from the Bengals staff tomorrow. Makes me ill.
