NY Giants fan here, but still sorta follow the Bengals…

MAN the Bengals have absolutely OWNED the draft these last couple of years! You simply cannot deny that, and I must give credit where credit is due.

And I just found out they got Burfict!? As an UDFA?? No risk, high reward that’s excellent! Wow… simply amazing.

If the Bengals keep this up I fully expect to see Andy Dalton vs. Eli Manning in an upcoming Super Bowl!

This is a win-win for Bengals/Still if they use him the right way: as a pass rushing DT next to Geno Atkins for 12-18 plays a game.

No use in playing him more than that if he’s not effective (read: tired).

gotta admit this guy could end up a steal if they coach him up enough to play hard on every play. not a Cincinnati fan but damn well done on your draft bengals

I must not see things clearly………this team looks awfully dangerous on paper after this draft. Do they really have any weaknesses?

Coach Zimmer is one of the best in the league in coaching up kids. They said the same thing about Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap when they came out too. With the additions in free agency, and the draft. The Bengals D line will be one of the best. WHO DEY !

I also heard him on the radio say “with the right coaching he can become a dominant DT” and when asked what he needs to improve on he said ” I have to learn to play hard an every play”. These are some of the worst answers I’ve ever heard come from a prospect. It makes you wonder.

How would the Bengals know anything from the scouts? Must have got that crack info from their illustrious GM.

Marvin Lewis is a good coach. In 9 years he’s made the playoffs 3 times. For the bengals, that’s heaven. Any Bengal fan doubting Lewis just needs to think back to the 90′s and the Dave Shula era. The future is bright.
Let’s get back to the glory days of ” you don’t live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati”!

With the Bengals depth he wont be asked to do anything but turn it loose for 20-30 snaps a game. Devon Still next to Geno Atkins could be a dynamic pocket collapsing duo.

He also had a not very good combine, and it also seemed like his stock started to go down after the Wisconsin game at the end of the year, because he didn’t look very good in that one due to A) Wisconsin having a very good OL, B) he had a toe injury that was getting worse and worse, and C) the whole team was drained from all the crap they had to deal with for the previous three weeks (and just in case any Badger fans take that the wrong way, you guys were the better team, i’m not making excuses for the train-wreck that game was for PSU.

I made an account just to comment on this comment. Winning the division in 09 with no wr Corp, and making the playoffs last year with a rookie qb completely invalidates your already weak point. Why log on here to bash Marvin? Just bask in yet another great draft and get excited for the future, which will include a super bowl in 3/5 years…mark it down!!

Can’t believe Marvin Lewis still keeps getting chances to coach all the time. He’s the inconsistent one!
