My Bengals Mock

[djc27osu]

In the first round I would love any of the following 3 players to fall to 17: Richardson, Decastro, and Floyd (In that order). I don't believe any of the 3 will fall, I think Decastro is the most likely, however in this mock I have all 3 off the board. The next round of targets are players that I wouldn't mind selecting at 17 or 21 Barron, Kirkpatrick, Gilmore, Glenn, and Wright (once again in that order). With that being said here is my 2012 Cincinnati Bengals mock draft:

1a.) Kendall Wright WR Baylor-Out of all of the players I listed I think Barron with the big 3 are all off the board. I believe #2 receiver is our biggest weakness/need right now and we will use one of our 1st on a wr. With the cb signings we have made we will pass on the cbs left for the wr. I prefer a taller wr opposite AJ but this is the pick for now.

1b.) Cordy Glenn OG Georgia-Guard is our next biggest need and as mentioned earlier I believe they are happy with the corners brought in and will pass on one in the first to shore up this weakness.

2.)Lamar Miller RB Miami-I believe rb will be the 2nd round pick almost regardless of how the first round plays out in any scenario. Whether it be Miller, Martin or Wilson rb will be the pick. I prefer the homerun threat Miller of the three.

3.)Harrison Smith S Notre Dame-Retaining Nelson was big and we need one of Mays and Sands to step up but we don't totally know what we have in them, so we bring in Smith to add to the mix.

4.)Marcus Forston DT Miami-Player with upside to add to the dline depth.

5a.)Vontaze Burfict LB Arizona State-Been seeing this pick more and more lately and this late wouldn't mind the risk plus seems like Marvin is interested.

5b.)Matt Reynolds OT BYU-Once highly rated oline prospect adds another body to the oline.

5c.)Jeff Fuller WR Texas A&M-I think we add another wr late like last year with Whalen to battle for a roster spot in training camp.

6.)Cliff Harris CB Oregon-We will draft a cb somewhere in the draft and might not take 2 "risks" but this late I would do it. Can't overlook his talent.


I feel our draft will look something like this. Its not exactly who or how I would draft (for instance I'd take Kirkpatrick or Gilmore at 17 if the big 3 and Barron are gone) but I would not be upset either with this draft.

Side note-Does anyone know the status on last years board favorite safety Deunta Williams? Last I read he was taking last season off to recover and trying to play this year.

Not a fan of Kendall Wright at 17, I think hes a good college player that will fail to get seperation in the NFL. Not a fan of RB in the second either the rest is OK.

I agree I wouldn't take Wright at 17 either I just think with the way the board falls they might jump the gun and take him there. I'd prefer on of the cbs if Decastro,Floyd or Barron are gone

[THE DUKE]

Cliff Harris is a small, slow CB with a drug problem so bad he got thrown off his college team and didn't bother to prepare for the combine. 180 lbs with a 4.7 40? No matter how good his instincts are, the dude is a train wreck.

Not a fan of Wright at 17. There will be too many players I like better still on the board, and I don't think there is much difference in Wright than rd 2-3 guys like AJ Jenkins, Marvin McNutt, Chris Givens, Mohammed Sanu, etc....

Agree with 'Duke' here. Not a Kendall Wright fan, or a fan of taking 2 x WR in this draft. Better options available IMO

Agreed. And no way Smith falls to the 3rd
