Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

With the 9th Pick In The MHR Community Mock Draft...


The Cincinnati Bengals select....


SEDRICK ELLIS, DT  - USC

G.M. - ilikekitties -- This should be no surprise, in fact, i wish Cincy would not take him, so we can.
Sed Ellis is 6'1, 305 lbs, and is probably this draft's most freakishly  strong players.  His reported bench max is 510 lbs, and he lifted 225 42 times at the combine.  He is explosive off the snap, in the same mold as sack machine Warren Sapp (and hopefully Marcus Thomas).

The Bengals' Defense is famous for their pass rushing front four, but they lost that last season.  At least 2 key players have left at D end and linebacker, and I wouldn't be surprised if they pick Dan Conner here.

Sedrick Ellis' penetration is the key reason Cincy needs him.  They were one of the last against the pass the last two years, despite having a good secondary (we had the same problem, but with the run).  Cincy's front 7 can stop the run, but not the quarterback.  Ellis will make an immediate impact.

The Draft So Far --

#1 - Miami Dolphins - DE Chris Long, Virginia
#2 - St. Louis Rams - OT Jake Long, Michigan
#3 - Atlanta Falcons - DT Glen Dorsey, LSU
#4 - Oakland Raiders - RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas
#5 - Philadelphia Eagles(via Trade w/ K.C. Chiefs) - DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio St.
#6 - New York Jets - DB Leodis McKelvin, Troy St.
#7 - New England Patriots - CB Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, Tennessee State
#8 - Baltimore Ravens - QB Matt Ryan, Boston College

The New Orleans Saints, represented by Broncosdude793 are on the clock.  The next few selections are below --

  1. Buffalo (7-9) -- amirebram
  2. Denver (7-9) -- ejruiz777
  3. Carolina (7-9) -- Jaxon
  4. Chicago (7-9) -- WCG
  5. Detroit (7-9) -- tbell61
Time to pick up the pace, just a bit...Let's get those picks in!!!

Sorry, but no description
in class.  he's a corner that's sorely needed in a bad Saints D. it's what it is. Not too hard of a choice here.

Ellis
could fit in a 3-4 or 4-3 as SC fan know because we show up with both of those schemes in our D. Sometime we had 4 Lineman other times 4 LB's. The fact was in every situation we had ellis and Rivers out there and after thrashing Michigan in the Rose Bowl 2 years ago we came out and whooped the Illini this year. Ellis was a huge part of that because, well he's scary, he hurts people, and is an in your face pass rusher. Good solid pick, I don't think he'll bust but don't sign him is he wants more than 5 mil a year. No rookie should get that anyway. (JMARC)

Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
With the 11th pick, the Bills pick:

Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma

The Bills would have liked a CB better, but the top 3 guys for this position were all taken.

The next position of need was WR, and Kelly might be the best fit here.

RT was another need, but this was too high a pick for a RT.

Orange County is hot. Really! Haven't you seen the weather report?
