The NFL Combine is coming to a close. Teams are falling in love with prospects. Mock Drafters, including me, are drooling over our favorite prospects. But as always, I need you!
Starting tomorrow, the folks involved in the FootballBurrito.com Mock Draft will be busy, Looking to improve their team. Already, we have seen a trade involving Derek Anderson (wait until draft day to find out ). The Lions are on the prowl trying to find the best talent and who to take with first pick of the draft.
I will represent the Bengals of South Western Ohio. Last season, undoubtedly was an upsetting season for Cincinnati. The defense, which has constantly been a weak point only brought the quarterback to the ground sixteen times. The offensive line, once a strong point of this squad, has continued to deteriorate. In order to protect Carson Palmer, left tackle will be a key position to hone in on. It has been one of our weak points since 2005. The defense though, is so weak that I need a good pass rusher.
Here is how I am looking at it right now. I have let it known that I have a major interest in trading down (sixth pick) in order to pick up a solid pass rusher. Don’t get me wrong, the Aaron Maybins of the world are intriguing. A very talented linebacker like Aaron Curry would be a must take if available. But if I can get a solid pass rusher, who might be a bit aged, and add either a tackle or linebacker later in the draft, than I am all about making this squad ready to compete in 2009.
Especially if I can get an extreme talent like Andre Smith, who went AWOL this weekend. I have a wonderful coach in Marvin Lewis, who has made a career out of making head-cases perform. If I can get him in the lower half of the draft, then I am all for it. That gives me a solid pass rusher with veteran experience, and an offensive tackle who has the potential of a top 3 pick.
But what would you do? Would you take Tim Crabtree if he falls to number six? Is Aaron Curry or Aaron Maybin the right fit? Should I sit on the best offensive lineman? Let me know what you guys think. Either leave a comment, or hit up the Fantasy CPR Inbox.
