July 25, 200818 yr Draft picks in the Lewis era not currently with the team: 2007: Kenny Irons (2), Matt Toeaina (6) 2006: A.J. Nicholson (5), Reggie McNeal (6), Bennie Brazell (7b) 2005: David Pollack (1), Odell Thurman (2), Chris Henry (3), Adam Kieft (5), Tab Perry (6) 2004: Keiwan Ratliff (2a), Madieu Williams (2b), Caleb Miller (3a), Landon Johnson (3b), Mathias Askew (4a), Maurice Mann (5), Greg Brooks (6), Casey Bramlet (7) 2003: Eric Steinbach (2), Kelley Washington (3), Dennis Weathersby (4a), Khalid Abdullah (5), Langston Moore (6), Elton Patterson (7b) So not counting this year's second-round pick, Jerome Simpson, Andrew Whitworth is the only second-rounder picked by Lewis that's still a Bengal. How could this particular situation fall back on Marvin? My comment was concerning the list of players above, not just Irons. The Irons situation isn't on Marvin be come on. Maybe I am wrong and this is the norm for most NFL teams.
July 25, 200818 yr How could this particular situation fall back on Marvin? I agree. Although I have become less and less of a Lewis fan myself imo the house cleaning needs to start at the very top. Until some go from upstairs, Bengal fans will continue to see the same thing.......not much if anything. JMO
July 25, 200818 yr Author According to what you posted earlier, there are 24 draftees in the last 5 years not with the team. What does that say? A lot of wasted draft picks. And? You can't blast the Irons pick because he suffered a major injury...
July 25, 200818 yr And? You can't blast the Irons pick because he suffered a major injury... :thumb: Not at all.
July 25, 200818 yr When do the Bungle fans start calling for Lewis's replacement? How many draft picks have they had since Lewis has been there (not counting this year)? I am guess around 40 which would mean about 50% of the guys they have drafted aren't even playing in the NFL. You couldn't be more wrong. If I can find an article I read a couple months ago I will put it on here. It was about NFL teams who have done well in the draft, and the Bengals were alot higher than you think.

July 26, 200818 yr And? You can't blast the Irons pick because he suffered a major injury... Had they went with the obvious and drafted Jackson instead of Perry, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
July 26, 200818 yr Author Had they went with the obvious and drafted Jackson instead of Perry, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Right. We'd be talking about Jackson holding out. Ifs and buts. Candy and nuts. Merry Christmas...
July 26, 200818 yr Right. We'd be talking about Jackson holding out. Ifs and buts. Candy and nuts. Merry Christmas... Wow. You can't be serious. You don't think this team would have been better off to draft Jackson than Cris Perry?
July 26, 200818 yr Author Wow. You can't be serious. You don't think this team would have been better off to draft Jackson than Cris Perry? If they did and Jackson ended up with the injury problems, you're in the same spot. I'm saying you can't predict injuries and that's the deal there. When healthy Perry was a big time weapon...
July 26, 200818 yr If they did and Jackson ended up with the injury problems, you're in the same spot. I'm saying you can't predict injuries and that's the deal there. When healthy Perry was a big time weapon... Everyone I know was screaming for the Bengals to move up and take Jackson. Injuries or not, if they were going RB it should have been Jackson. I can't really figure out why you're defending what they have done with the draft. You OK? Just checking:D
July 26, 200818 yr It was a horrible draft pick when they picked him, this validates the ability of the pathetic scouting department and their ability to draft players. It's a good thing Chad and TJ both played for Oregon State....

I can't really figure out why you're defending what they have done with the draft. You OK? Just checking:D They've screwed up plenty of draft picks, but Perry and Irons don't go on my list. Neither were injury prone heading in, and you simply can't blast a team for that. They were simply looking for a change of pace back to take the load off Rudi, and both can't stay healthy...

They were simply looking for a change of pace back to take the load off Rudi, and both can't stay healthy... At the time you would have picked Perry over Jackson?
