Ramius Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) FSU's pro day was yesterday, and i figured it was worth noting that Marvin Lewis was the only HC in attendance. No word on which GMs and/or scouts were there. It appears cincy is hot after a QB. Then again I could be way off base. Given the lockout and Mike Brown's dubious ownership, Marvin Lewis might be the only scout for the bengals this offseason, hence the reason he was here.

Thoner7 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I always heard rumors that Cinci had a “skelton” scouting staff, which is believable considering they don’t even have an indoor practice facility. But the other day I heard on Mike and Mike that they actually don’t have a scouting staff. Thats right, no scouts - NONE. I don’t know how true this is or not, but I guess there is a chance lol. I am pretty sure that the two Brown boys (sons of the Owner) run the draft. Unfortunately they have had better drafts the last 5 years with no staff than our entire FO has had.

Mr. WEO Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Maybe Lewis was looking at an assistant's job at FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Good thing the Bills pick infront of the Bengals in round 2. Ponder #34 wouldn't be a bad choice. Edited March 18, 2011 by Why So Serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the Pats pick ahead of the Bills, and we all know how eager Billy Boy is to trade down. If he can swap places with the Bengals, screw the Bills out of a QB, and pick up an additional pick he'll do it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard smallest by a wide margin. I don't believe none unless they just pull off kipers big board... But I suppose that would trump us.

There have been many Bills drafts that would have been better if they had followed that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 There have been many Bills drafts that would have been better if they had followed that route. Let's cut to the chase- we could've put the top 250 names in a hat and pulled one randomly and done better then a handful of our first rounders this last decade.

Nanker Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why speculate about a thing like that? Bungles Player Personnel Jim Lippincott - Director of Foosball Operations Duke Tobin - Director of Player Persons Greg Seamon - Scout Earl Biederman, John Cooper, Bill Tobin - Scouting Consultants Debbie LaRocco - Personal Assistant So, did Greg Seamon get released?

Given the lockout and Mike Brown's dubious ownership, Marvin Lewis might be the only scout for the bengals this offseason, hence the reason he was here. It doesn't matter what the Bengals want unless they trade up with Carolina or Denver, and as long as our Buddy uses his head and gets us a quarterback, we have our choice before them. I also read that they might be pretty high on Ponder the FSU QB, which most likely would still be available to them in with the second pick in the second round.
