The Blue Board

He lost a ton I know. Mike Brown is bad! My friends who are Bengal fans hate him. What's that say about the Browns though? The Bengals have a owner who fetuses to hire a GM and is a notorious tight ass yet the Bengals are relevant and having the best draft by far. Randy Lerner is more worried about Ashton Villa! It gets frustrating being a Browns fan!! Sorry!

I love the fact we had the balls to move up 1 spot to draft him! He's the franchise now! If he produces and runs hard we'll love him as much as another Browns & Bama great....Ozzie!!!

I have to admit that I'm not sure about he John Hughes or Travis Benjamin picks. You got some good OL help for Trent but taking Hughes in the third wasn't smart and you passed on Joe Adams and Greg Childs to take Travis Benjamin in the fourth.

He wasn't as much trouble as a lot of people think he was at Bama. His main issue was that he liked smoking reefer (supposedly) but he was a hard worker at Bama and there are a lot of good NFL players that like pot. If he wasn't a hard worker and a ton of trouble Saban wouldn't have put up with him.

If he continues to bust his ass he has all the potential in the world. You don't see many 6'3" CB's that can run and can hit like a safety. He needs to work on his cover skills a bit but I think he has the potential to be a lock down cover.

Yeah, his only problem was smoking. I think the Bengals can shape him into a great player. We got rid of our prima donnas, so there shouldn't be any bad influences in the locker room.

How fast is he? Some people say that he is really slow..

Lerner isnt even in the same ballpark as Brown. Ive been following the bengals for 22 of my 26 years n its only a matter of time before he f*cks this up. Having a floor next year will help but it will implode eventually. I want to get my hopes up but following this team for 22 years you know its only a matter of time.

Sorry for taking so long for a response at work and had an emergency(FIRE) but ok now. I understand you guys needed a CB and there wasnt that much too choose from, but you have to admit that the Bengals track record speaks for itself when it comes to all of these questionable players. As for Dre I have no problem with him smoking weed unfortunatly for him and many other players the NFL does. As for the Bengals going forward it will be interesting to follow how this pans out. One good thing for the Bengals is they got rid of the drug dealer Simpson atleast in wont be as accessable for Dre now(Just Joking). I am not a Bengals fan but do live just outside of Cincy and do not have much use for Mike Brown the Bengals are his only money producing business and he runs it that way. He stated 2 years ago that he only wants his team to go 8-8 and no better and no worse. His reasoning is if they do worse fans will complain if they do better then expectations will be too high and fans would complain, but if they go 8-8 make the playoffs he is content with that because he believes the fans would be happy with just a competitive team. Not too high not too low I dont know about you guys but I and most of the Steelers fans have expectations of winning a super bowl every year and it is a let down when they dont but I would rather have an owner like Rooney that will do what it takes to be the best then a bum like Mike Brown who thrives for mediocrity.

P.S. GO STEELERS

I knew that they were shorter than they were before the new CBA just not exactly how much lower.

You never know what the Bengals had the two rated on their boards.

Dre=Kareem Jackson=BUST

I'm about tired of your subtle insults towards the bengals in every comment you post in this thread...

gettin Sanu in the 3rd is a STEAL.. i was surprised he didn't go early in the 2nd
