I'm surprised that no one else has started this thread (Stardust?) so I'll go ahead and do it. What does everyone think about the Bengals' draft?
I'll review the first four picks now, and the rest later:
1) Jermaine Gresham (TE) = Excellent pick. If anyone saw the sad excuse for a TE that was Daniel Coats last year, it was obvious that this was the Bengals' most glaring need.
2) Carlos Dunlap (DE) = Questionable pick. I know most experts are saying this is a boom-or-bust player, considering that he has first-round talent but later-round maturity. But my issue is that with Antwan Odom, Robert Geathers, and Michael Johnson as the top 3 DE's, this was not a position of need. Would have liked to see a safety here, more on that later...
3) Jordan Shipley (WR) = Excellent pick. The Bengals really missed having a guy like Housh last year, and Shipley seems to have the skills and toughness to go over the middle. Fills a need for a #3 receiver behing the starters.
3) Brandon Ghee (CB) = Good pick. The Bengals didn't have a reliable nickel corner last year, so this fills a need. Also may start if they can't re-sign Jonathan Joseph next year.
