William Jackson III - CB |

Tyler Boyd - WR |

Andrew Billings - DT |
The
Bengals most agree had a very strong 2016 NFL Draft, we have seen
grades from B- to A+ regularly. Going into the draft most Bengal's
fans was wanting a WR to fill the void left by Marvin Jones and
Mohamed Sanu, which for sure made sense. The Bengals, known for
taking the best talent on the board and not reaching did just
that by selecting CB William Jackson with the 24th overall pick
in the 1st round. Stealing Jackson one pick before the CB-needy
Steelers hit the clock was a bonus that Bengals fans will always
remember if Jackson lives up to his talent on the field.
In the 2nd
round the Bengals drafted the WR most assumed was coming in round
1. Tyler Boyd may not be a superstar play maker for the Bengals,
but he's the dependable wide out the team needs opposite A.J.
Green. He's going to be a dependable pass catcher for Andy Dalton
and could quickly become a favorite target of Dalton due to the
many ways he can excel with the football. Landing FA Brandon LaFell
from the Patriots should take some pressure off of Boyd in his
rookie year, this kid has a chance to be better than Marvin Jones
which would help the Bengals take the step needed to be considered
elite in the NFL.
The Bengals
seemed to be in the right place at the right time allot in this
draft. Talent you saw slip and slip, then the Bengals got on the
clock and took advantage. Andrew Billings is a prime example of
a value pick. There was rumors of the Bengals taking Billings
as high as the 2nd round. He is considered a 1st round talent,
strong as an ox and known for stopping the run. Billings will
be a welcomed edition to the Bengals defense. In the 5th round
the Bengals also scored great value with Christian Westerman.
Westerman is a powerhouse blocker up front that could be a staple
on the offensive line for years to come.
- Sixth-round
WR Cody Core is a name to remember from Cincinnati’s picks.
He was the Robin to Laquon Treadwell’s Batman at Ole Miss
but can be a big-play threat in his own right

Bengals Training Camp |
I
often hear how football is now a 365 day a year sport, let me
say it sure does not feel like it to me! The feeling of knowing
that training camp is here for my Bengals means it is about time
for football. The Bengals open training camp kicks off its fifth
year July 29 at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals Training Camp,
presented by Fifth Third Bank, will offer several events free
to the public, including joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings
and Family Day.
If you have
never attended Bengals training camp I highly recommend it. It
is a great time to see the players up close and really see them
work. Check out the Bengals training camp schedule and choose
a day that best fits you. If you have a family of Bengals fans
family Day will take place Aug. 6 at Paul Brown Stadium. The event
will feature face painting, balloon artists, pictures with team
mascot Who Dey and an NFL Play 60 Activity Zone.
The Bengals
and the Minnesota Vikings will practice together on Aug. 10 and
11 in preparation for the preseason opener at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 12
at Paul Brown Stadium. These practices will be held on the grass
fields just west of Paul Brown Stadium. The grass fields will
have bleacher seating for 1250 fans, plus additional standing
room along the sidelines. All practices will give fans the opportunity
to snag free autographs from their favorite players.
Times of practices
are subject to change, so fans should check the training
camp website for the latest information.
