It's not til the last paragraph, but I posted it below.

I was about to kill someone when I saw this, but they're saying that they might be able to use him on defense, as well as special teams and MAYBE some offense. I don't know though, unless they're planning on trading some future draft picks to get him, I wouldn't do it. I'd take an experienced corner, not someone that they just converted. Even with Chris Henry out for the first 8 (if we were planning on using Ginn on offense at all), I think TJ and Chad are good enough to make it easy for any of the back-up receivers to fill in (Chatman, McNeal, Perry, etc.). We've needed a defense for a while, don't bail out on me now.

TEDDY BALLGAME: Yes, Marvin Lewis was one of three head coaches to attend Ted Ginn’s workout at Ohio State Wednesday along with Scott Linehan of the Rams and Cam Cameron of the Dolphins, according to NFL.com.
Ginn also brought his offensive coordinator, his receivers coach, and special teams coach. Whether that means the Bengals are seriously considering taking Ginn at No. 18 is anyone’s guess and they love to have the league guessing. Remember, it’s been Lewis himself who has been saying it makes sense to go defense in the draft.
Of course, Ginn is telling people that he’d rather play defense as a cornerback and it all gets back to if a playoff contender can afford to draft a projection in the first round. Ginn won’t be there when the Bengals pick in the second.
If the Bengals took him in the first round, it wouldn’t be as a cornerback. It would be the Devin Hester Factor as a receiver/returner. The Bengals finished 29th in both kick and punt returns, but a first-round pick figures to be too pricey for that. Or, the Bengals could be doing due diligence in case some draft maneuvering puts them in position to get some extra picks.
