2012 NFL Mock Draft: Cincinnati Bengals

D. Wash — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 23:07:11 +0000

Last year the Bengals were a team that was once again going no where fast. Carson Palmer played alright, along with veteran wideouts Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocino. Cedric Benson was once again the anchor on a team that pretty much had no consistent threat other than himself.

In the 2011 draft, the Bengals called Carson Palmer’s retirement bluff and quickly replaced him with Andy Dalton out of TCU. Chad Ochocinco was let go, along with Terrell Owens and AJ Green was drafted to replace them from day 1.

As I write this the Bengals are a strong 4-2 with their rookie QB and they just traded Carson Palmer to the Raiders for what could end up being TWO first round draft picks over the next two years.

Member WhyNot26 has put together a mock draft for you of what he thinks the Bengals will do in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Check it out:

1	Bengals	Claiborne, Morris CB from LSU
2	Bengals	Richardson, Trent RB from Alabama
3	Bengals	Zeitler, Kevin OG from Wisconsin
4	Bengals	Whitley, Eddie S from Virginia Tech
5	Bengals	Howard, Jaye DT from Florida
6	Bengals	Lindley, Ryan QB from San Diego State
7	Bengals	Schwartz, Mitchell OT from California
8	Bengals	Williams, Korey ILB from Southern Miss
9	Bengals	Jefferson, Jordan WR from LSU

2012 NFL Mock Draft: Cincinnati Bengals

D. Wash — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 20:48:44 +0000

The Bengals are a team that is obviously rebuilding. After losing starting QB Carson Palmer to “retirement” and shipping away top receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, the Bengals started 2011 from the bottom looking up in the AFC.

The following is a draft created by user WhyNot26, and is his projection for what the Bengals might choose to do this Spring. Remember that Ochocinco was traded for an additional fifth so the 6th pick is an additional fifth rounder.

Let’s see how he did:

1	Bengals	Claiborne, Morris CB from LSU Clements And Jones are Past their Prime, so we need to get someone opposite of Hall
2	Bengals	DeCastro, David OG from Stanford Need to Address the guard position, Williams is aging and Livings is barely holding the fort on pass protection.
3	Bengals	Pead, Isaiah RB from Cincinnati would be a steal if fall into the 3rd, the guy is a home run runner, just need to bulk up a bit to 210 or 215 but the guy can catch out of the backfield
4	Bengals	Whitley, Eddie S from Virginia Tech Need some help behind Nelson, their isnt a true Center-Field Safety behind Nelson
5	Bengals	Lindley, Ryan QB from San Diego State A QB similar to Dalton, Smart and has a lot of accuracy, and benefit in the WCO, and can be a Matt Flynn
6	Bengals	Blake, Philip C from Baylor Need a True Backup Center, There’s no one behind Cook
7	Bengals	Fletcher, Donnie CB from Boston College Adding more depth to the back end since Clements and Jones is aging
8	Bengals	Harrell, Logan DT from Fresno State Another Body into the Deep D-Line Rotation
