Respectable, beliveable and 100% what you want to hear out of a draft pick blocking for your franchise QB.

When you're the son of Prime Time, it comes with baggage. Right, wrong, or indifferent every alleged bad interview teams had with him seems a lot more real now.

I've heard that's the type of guy (needs to stay out of trouble) that the Bengals were absolutely avoiding this draft. I'd say Burton from last year, taught them a lot about taking a chance and hoping for the best. It's one thing if a guy doesn't really work out, it's something else when they become a sideshow headliner in local media outlets.

I think @futurecoach is kinda riding the fence on this one. Saying Pope did what he should be doing but also stating it likely compelled Perry to look for a better fit for himself. IMHO this shows that simply recruiting a Kentucky kid, doesn't mean you're going to have a solid veteran player for their junior and or senior season. It's a very different landscape in college basketball and people are starting to see that. Kentucky won't be the only program that experiences similar situations.

That tracks, they've probably got another good one.

I like this pick more than the 1st but I'm still not crazy about it.

At this point, I'm pretty confident they won't be drafting Johnson.

50/50, really depends on how much he wanted to be at UK vs how much he wanted to be a starter or at least a guy seeing 20+ minutes ago game. I'd say it could've gone either way.

I certainly hope that's the case. But it also looks like some of their other picks that produced some but never really panned out like they'd hoped.

Really need to draft a good CB at some point and they were available.

So, the Bengals pick Shemar Stewart. I guess we will see, I mean he's an athletic freak but that hasn't always panned out for the Bengals.

To some degree.

May not fill it but we shall see. Perhaps Pope finds someone off the radar like Almonor. It's hard to convince guys to come in and be a practice player nowadays.

Yeah, I read that last night. It's unfortunate, but right now, Perry looks to be near the very bottom, if not the bottom for playing time next season.

2nd most runs ever scored for the Red Legs in the past 125 years.
