Sitting home at my bar watching the talking heads waiting on this draft.

Still hoping on Floyd but don't think he will be there at 17.

Cleveland trades up!!!!!

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

...on how we screw this up?

All depends on who is on the board.

Micheal Floyd or Kuechly would be awesome, but both will be gone

Kirkpatric
Hightower
Gilmore

All would be very nice at 17


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I looked up qb's over the past 10 years.
141 qb's have been drafted in that time.
The failure rate is amazing.

"...on how we screw this up?"


Yes. Reaching on the 2nd pick in the 1st round. I wouldn't doubt Mikey Drafting a "project" today since he's the little Maverick that he is.




"So he got fired? Big deal. It's happened to the best of us. So he got kicked out of his house by his 400 lb'ed wife?!?!? That's probably better for him anyways."-OldSchooler on ChrisMBHater's absence

Anything can happen. The mocks are all over the place for the Bungs. Would still love to see them take an offensive lineman and Michael Floyd. Just for entertainment purposes as Murf goes into full-blown bipolar hysteria.

CB Dre Kirkpatric would be nice, too.

By the way, why the Hell did the Browns trade up? Is that Alabama running back really that good?

They gave up 3 picks to move up to 1 spot for him.
That is Bengal like

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Trent Richardson it is. Was Jim Brown pulling everyone's leg when he said this guy was "ordinary"?

"Trent Richardson it is. Was Jim Brown pulling everyone's leg when he said this guy was "ordinary"?"


No. Not ordinary. Going up against SEC's Defenses, the guy was unstoppable. Was one of the main guys responsible for the Championship for Alabama.

No, not a joke--and definitely not ordinary.

Makes no sense b/c the Vikes were not a threat to draft him anyways.

So far no huge shockers yet.
Jags got a great human, don't know how great he is going to be, but love the kid.

I'm waiting for a Bungles version of that scene from the old Coach tv show:

"The Cincinnati Bengals have traded their first-round pick for a pair of cruise tickets."

Dolphins get a pretty good qb and so far, his girlfriend is by far the hottest thing in that building...lol


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Wonder if we'll have to wait another hour before we find out. And this draft is going "fast".

Miami takes Tannehill as expected. Too high for a project QB.

There went hope pick #1...Kuechley to Carolina..
Great linebacker from Cincinnati..

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I don't know how many crappy LB picks I can stomach watching Lewis make.

#2 Floyd went to Arizona...

That sucks


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Sorry about that, Murf. I was looking forward to hearing you enthuse about it.

LOL..would be a great addition to Green and Shipley, but oh well..

Hightower!!!!!!!!!!

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I'm guessing they go for Stephen Hill, WT Ga Tech.

The guy is big (6'4") and the brownHole needs another project at a skill position to replace Jerome Simpson.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

And yeah, Cleveland got fleeced. Not sure what Holmfren was thinking there.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

I expect NY to jump on Coples here. If not, that pick makes the most sense for the Bungs.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Yep, Coples to the Jets. I wonder if that's the guy the Bungs really wanted. There were reports, supposedly.

BETTER BE HIGHTOWER

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Hoping for DeCastro and Cordy Glenn. As the NFL moves to a pass dominated offense, defense will get lighter and faster. All the more reason to buck the trend and go power running.

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who undertsand binary, and those who do not.

The final reverberation of J-Joe's departure. I'm good with the Dre Kirkpatrick pick. A few weeks ago it didn't seem possible. I like.

Dre Kirkpatrick? Would be good value AND fill a need.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Wow. They actually did something logical.

I thought for sure they were gonna hold out and get Janoris Jenkins at a "steal" later in the draft instead.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

So who's the next pick?

DeCastro would make a lot of sense. Hmmm, make two moves in a row that make sense? Unlikely.

I will stick with Stephen Hill. The brownHole can't overlook those measurables for long!

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

You'd think San Diego is looking defense here.

They have 0 playmakers on that side of the ball outide of a safety.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

If this guy is available at 21 it would be a minor miracle....

Great pick..play maker on defense going into it with several solid veterans to teach him and Zimmer seems to find a way to make players better.

Hightower might be there at 21!

Would not be shocked to see a tailback at 21..

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Not Happy with Dre he ran a 4.50 40 and played mostly zone coverage we play man 90% of the time.

Chi and Ten next. You might be right Murf don't see either of them taking a RB so we could get the next one.

We have the Law Firm and Scott tho. I'm happy (not thrilled) with that.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

I'm with the other posters would like to see DeCastro.

I'm thinking he'll be gone tho.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Please pick DeCastro at 21!!!

Chi picks Hightower, would have rather had him then Dre then DeCastro.

Maybe you're right, AMM, but I haven't felt so good about a Bungs pick since Jermaine Gresham. And San Diego did not take DeCastro like a lot of mocks predicted. I'm with Draw. Would love to see the Bungs get him.

Let's all say how much we like DeCastro at the same time, okay?

trade


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Wow. Didn't foresee Bears going LB there.

Might be smart tho Urlacher is getting up there. Might as well get someone now as insurance and to learn under one of the best.

C'mon Tennessee, go after a weapon for your QB. We want DeCastro!

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Love the trade..now get 2 first and 2 second

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Did we really think Mikey would pay for TWO legitimate first round picks? What were we smoking? I'm outa here...

Uh oh.

Did we just trade pick w New England?

No way that will work out in our favor. Crap.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Wharton and Bell will be our starting gaurds, thanks Mike!!

Mike Brown, you dog! Traded the chance to get DeCastro to New England. Get an extra 3rd rounder. Well, the intrigue will last through almost the end of the 1st round.

Crap that means I have to keep watching this incredibly drawn out crap for another 45 minutes?!!?

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

It's a fourth rounder they pick 31st, Fuk u Mike!!

Well will get Hill at 31.

Is there any question that Cleveland or Pittsburgh will take DeCastro and he will end up being good?

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Ravens take Decastro.

The Browns take Weeden. Uh oh. He's like Dalton. They just got better in a hurry.

Kirkpatrick was arrested on possession charges in January btw, so at least with Simspon gone the other knuckleheads in the locker room will have a new supplier.

Anyone else think Cleveland has had a terrible draft? Richardson better be a top flight back on the level of MJD or this draft has gotten off to a rough start for them. I'm OK with Weeden but think they could have had him lower.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

LOL.

"How to screw up your team" by Mike Holmgren.

I have no problem with this trade.
Obviously the guard is not rated to be that great or he would be gone.
You are looking at second round talent from this point on and with Bell and Wharton inked there is no reason to draft a back up guard right now.

Hightower is solid and we don't know if Rey is going to be suspended for his bar fight and Moch and Muckelroy are hyped by the staff but we have not seen them yet.

Bottom line, I will take the extra picks instead of over reaching for a lineman.

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Here comes the Stealers to "over reach" for that lineman, Murf.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

BINGO!!!

What's my prize?

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Damn, not the Steelers!

Pitt picked Castro Murf, Yea he won't be good.

C-Star your prize is a crappy pick bust at 31.

Poor decision - the bungs could have used that DE from Syracuse. Like pitching in baseball you can't get enough good DL's. I don't think Mikey has a grasp of the game.

And there goes that LB you coveted too Murf? Still loving the trade?

I don't know what we got at this point so it's hard to judge, but I can't say I'm enthusiastic about it at this point.

Stephen Hill? Janoris Jenkins? What'll it be? Lol

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Geoff Hobson later today or tomorrow:

"... Paul Alexander was never entirely sold on DeCastro..."

Hopefully Gelnn or Konz is available at 31.

AMM, I get the same crappy prize every year, lol. I think we pick at 27 tho not 31.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Her comes Bust Upshaw

I don't think Mikey has a grasp of the game.

lol, welcome to the board

I never said he was going to be a bad player..but to win in the NFL you need play makers.
The Bengals have 2 guys with 200 snaps in the league that will be playing guard plus they have Bolin who played well last year as a rookie on both sides of the line.

Now, NewEngland just fuched up my night by taking Hightower, but I still like the trade.

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Martin or Miller?


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Houston just took the last of the "buzz" guys, that is, players that had a lot of buzz about them heading into the draft.

Doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot on its own, but consider we had our choice of 3 of them and instead traded back.

Let's see what we get now...

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

I see this pick coming from out of nowhere for some reason. Should be interesting...

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Bolin who played well last year as a rookie on both sides of the line.-Murf that's why he was benched after 3 games.

I'm telling you Mikeyboy must be feeling insecure about his WRs. He lost Caldwell and Simspon in the same offseason...

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Haha. Mikeyboy is a 'tard. Can't wait for the Murf rant on this one.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Mike he was a ROOKIE..lol

I hope he starts from day 1!
lol


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Kevin Zeitler? Hobson will tell us that Alexander liked him better at guard than DeCastro.

Of course they will Psycho, of course they will.

Why would we have wanted the first-team all american? We got Zeitler!



"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

DeCastro, may you spend your career clobbering the Bengals. You see, we had no interest whatsoever in an OG. Er, a, that is one Mike would have to pay.

The season is 4 months away and I'm already fed up with the 3 Ring Bengal Circus...

I think I just heard Mike Zimmer screaming in pain. I don't think he likes Maualuga much anyway but to watch the Patriots pluck Jonathon Fanena then maneuver ahead of the Bungs and steal Hightower has to hurt.

Hell the entire coaching staff might be passed out in the war room right now. Zeitler was drafted by the guy in charge of wiping spit off the drinking fountains because he was the only one in there (beside the hole) that was conscious.

Psycho, Hobson will say whatever the hell he's TOLD to say!

This reminds me of the time they traded back to get Christina Perry INSTEAD of Stephen Jackson. They didn't need an all-around back, just a third down back, so why not get the extra pick?

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Take the best player. Period. Not the one you think fits your system or need, because systems and needs change but the need for talent is always there.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Ok..they have 8 picks remaining.
You know 2 of them will be spent on a wideout and a tailback.

I have no problem with the work today...


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Pick Analysis: Mayock's take: "This is a solid pick. I don't care if it's not popular, this is a plug-and-play guard. Wisconsin offensive linemen are always well coached. The Bengals could use the help up front, and this kid will provide it. He can play zone and man. He's an immediate starter. Well done."

If this author thinks he's that good then Hobson will think he's Anthony Munoz.

Here you go:

And long-time Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander all but anointed Zeitler the starting right guard when ask if he'd start: "That's the definition of a first-round pick...Every one I've had has."

Alexander was referring to his first round-picks since he became the line coach in 1995: Right tackle Willie Anderson in 1996, left tackle Levi Jones in 2002, and right tackle Andre Smith in 2009. It's the first time the Bengals have ever taken a guard in the first round, but Alexander compared the 6-3, 315-pound Zeitler to the best of his guards.

"He's as tough as (Matt) O'Dwyer, as smart as (Mike) Goff, as tenacious as Nate (Livings)," Alexander said. "I haven't really had anyone quite like him. He's unique."

He's also brilliant. As well as being able to back up at center, he reportedly had a 40 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic test at the combine and he said Thursday night he had more than a 3.0 grade point average in college as well as finishing in the top 20 of his high school class in Lutheran High School in Wisconsin.

O'Dwyer, Goff, and Livings all rolled-up into one. With praise like that, who could possibly worry?

ROTFLOL!!

I am actually pleased with what they did in the first round.

Did I want De Castro more? Of course.

But not that much more. He is a freaking guard. LOL
We picked up the #3 rated Guard in the country and the kid can also back-up center. Good value there. We pluck another draft pick in a decently rich draft.

I think they drugged Mikey and put him in the Dungeon for the weekend.

No complaints.
