A lot of fans and analysts expected the Cincinnati Bengals to take a step ba
ck after their surprising 2011 campaign and subsequent playoff flameout. The
events of draft weekend should make them think again.
It's hard not to love what the Bengals have done in this draft. (It doesn't
hurt when you have five picks in the first three rounds).
They drafted a rock-solid cornerback, Dre Kirkpatrick, who fills a huge need
and will start on Day 1. They traded down and picked up a plug-and-play gua
rd in Kevin Zeitler.
Defensive tackles Devon Still (No. 53) and Brandon Thompson (No. 93) both ca
n be added to the Bengals' deep defensive line group. Coordinator Mike Zimme
r does a great job rotating linemen and developing them. Carlos Dunlap, Mich
ael Johnson and Geno Atkins are all similar players to Still in that they we
re big names who fell on draft day before the Bengals picked them. Zimmer wi
ll coach them up.
Owner/general manager Mike Brown also hasn't ignored giving quarterback Andy
Dalton help. Mohamed Sanu is an intelligent receiver to add to the mix, and
fourth-round tight end Orson Charles was a steal. Charles played with A.J.
Green in college and ideally can be the Aaron Hernandez to Jermaine Gresham'
s Rob Gronkowski.
This is the draft the Carson Palmer trade wrought. (The Bengals also own the
Raiders' 2013 second-round pick, unless Oakland makes the AFC Championship
Game next season). That Palmer trade is another example of the smart decisio
ns the Bengals' front office has made of late.
Green and Dalton are only going to improve in their second year in the leagu
e. The Bengals have two excellent coordinators in Zimmer and offensive coord
inator Jay Gruden.
This is a team built to last. | s*****r 发帖数: 477 | 2 看来笨狗今年一定烂掉了。
