Hey, I love the Bengals and I've followed them a long time, but when their management does something stupid I'm going to call them on it. I don't care if Chris Perry doesn't play a single down this year, they still shouldn't have picked a RB in the second round. They had a great offense last year with little to no production out of Perry, so why would this year have been any different? The defense needed playmakers, and without a third rounder they only had two chances to get them. The Leon Hall pick was good, but they should have taken another defender in the second round too.

Mind you, this is not a knock on Irons, I agree he is a second round talent. It's just that the Bengals' needs dictated that they significantly upgrade the defense first. I would have been fine with them taking a RB in a much later round (although the main need on offense was a pass-catching TE).

Agree on all points........... but at least they took a defender first round, and a few more in the later rounds....... I still think they needed to draft a linebacker, although if the safeties play up maybe they could help, although they're not really run stoppers. However, Toeania will be a solid runstopper in the middle and will take up space on the line, and if we sign Hartwell, that could help with the run a lot.
