How would you feel if the packers drafted Ahmad Brooks??

[Deputy Nutz]

Partial your a little bit to high on this guy. He was a really good athlete, but he has yet to prove he has all the pieces to make a well rounded football player.

He was a playmaker in college and maybe he will be in Cinncinatti, but don't expect him to start this year. He has a lot of ground to make up as a college football player, much less an NFL football player.

Nutz has broken the code.

He won't start. He'll play on some passing downs and be groomed to be an ST terror.

PFT be damned, Marvin Lewis is adding pieces to his chess board to be a fast, hitting D and ST unit.

A Packer 3 is a high price.

A Bengal 3 is a tad high.

A Packer 4? That wudda been interesting, but we got a bunch of young pluggers. let's get some of our kids in the mix

I wudda ripped that dollar outta yer wallet 10 minutes ago.

Bengals just announced that MLB O'Dell Thurman (sp?) is suspended for the first 4 games of '06. I think Landon Johnson will start in thurman's place, but no dollar bets with par tail.

[PackerPro42]

No one else was selected in the Supp draft.

[MJZiggy]

Wonder how long before they are picked up as free agents. I say probably within the next week.

[woodbuck27]

No real surprize there.

I was really high on this guy too; he was a no brainer at round 3 and would have given us INCREDIBLE talent and youth at LB with Barnett, Hodge, Hawk, and Barnett. Almost too good of a talent to pass up IMO.

'Tough' decision
By John Murphy, Yahoo! Sports

In using their 2007 third-round pick to select former Virginia standout Ahmad Brooks in the NFL supplemental draft, the Cincinnati Bengals added a more physical presence at inside linebacker.

At 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds, Brooks has the size to be physical and can be moved around on third down as a pass-rusher. He has shown glimpses of potentially being a playmaker as an inside linebacker, although the Cavaliers primarily played a 3-4 scheme instead of the base 4-3 defense the Bengals have employed.

With a number of talented linebackers, including David Pollack, Odell Thurman, Landon Johnson, Brian Simmons and now Brooks, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis could switch to more of a hybrid scheme or even convert to a 3-4. With one year remaining on defensive end Justin Smith's contract, the Bengals couldn't commit to the scheme full-time until 2007, but they can begin the transition this season.

"Coach Lewis already likes to use variations of the 3-4, but [I] believe they will still use a 4-3 base for this season," one team official said.

Brooks comes with some off-field baggage.

A former first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, Brooks reportedly failed drug tests at Virginia. According to his agent, Gregory Williams, Brooks passed five drug tests over a 10-week period leading up to his June 22 workout, where the test results were distributed to NFL personnel.

Brooks also suffered a number of injuries with the Cavaliers, including a knee problem that required surgery and cost him parts of six games last season. He finished his junior campaign with just 27 tackles and one sack.

Bottom line, if you are in the nati and you need some good shit, you need to see a Bungle.
