April 29, 201115 yr Rumors swirling that the Bengals turned down Atlanta's offer of 5 picks over this year and next years draft. 27th overall this year, plus Atlanta's first round next year. Thoughts? Thats already been discussed in the draft thread.
April 29, 201115 yr So the Bengals took Green in Round 1. Now what happens in Round 2? I think there will be a flurry of trades today. If I'm the Bengals, I call up New England and dangle Chad and try to get that 33rd pick and go get Dalton or Mallet. Take a QB if they truly believe Carson isn't coming back, maybe QB even if they think he's coming back. Other areas of need would be DB/S, OL and RB. I wouldn't mind if they picked the RB from Illinois. My dad and I were just discussing we think the Bengals should offer up Chad to NE for that pick, take Dalton, and then they have another pick two picks later to address a need.
April 29, 201115 yr My dad and I were just discussing we think the Bengals should offer up Chad to NE for that pick, take Dalton, and then they have another pick two picks later to address a need. I mentioned that in the draft thread last night. I think they would take it if we offer Chad, and maybe throw in a 5th or 6th round pick too if they don't initially take it. Then the Bengals can take Dalton with the first pick of the 2nd round, and then possibly Bowers two picks later.
April 29, 201115 yr Bob Holtzman says it's Dalton and if he's gone it's Mallett. I surely hope it's not Mallett.
April 29, 201115 yr I heard someone say Buffalo felt pretty good about sticking with Fitz so Dalton should still be there.
April 29, 201115 yr Author I'd rather have Mallett. Dalton is a "smart" winner (against mainly inferior competition) that isn't an elite talent. The way this franchise is with the crazies I'd rather add another crazy with elite talent but maybe some partying issues. If you're not going to be good, be fun to talk about.
April 29, 201115 yr Bengals also tried to trade with GB to take Dalton at 32 but obviously didn't get it done.

You'd rather have the idiot with a big arm than a guy who's smaller and smarter? Mallett is a tool and is only going to lead to bad things. They need to take Dalton and not be stupid. Mallett's unappealing way he carries himself turns me off completely and will turn other fans off as well. Plus he's completely un-athletic..."bust" is written all over the wall.

I want the guy that didn't play in the Mountain West and who isn't short

It's an easy decision, IMO.

April 29, 201115 yr Bengals had Dalton as the #2 qb on their board after Cam Newton. Really surprised he fell to them in round 2 with as much buzz as he was getting yesterday.
