Bengals Draft Depot

From the limited video that i've seen on the Senior Bowl practices here's some information on some of the prospects the Bengals could be interested in.

Quinton Carter- The Free Safety from Oklahoma has looked very good in coverage. The Bengals have needed a Safety that can cover for years. Carter is someone that could possibly be had with the Bengals early third round pick and would be an absolute steal there. In one on one drills against WR's he looked better than some of the CB's. He has very fluid hips and can change directions very well. His straight line speed is better than I expected from a Safety, not a Corner. Keep an eye on Carter, if the Bengals can get him in the 3rd they can upgrade another position in the 2nd round.

Titus Young- The Wide Receiver from Boise State reminds me a lot of DeSean Jackson. He can flat out fly. If the Bengals don't take AJ Green in the first round he could be someone they take in the 2nd. He made all the catches and I didn't see a single drop from him. Defenders had to give him plenty of cushion because of his speed and he did a great job using that to create space on his shorter routes by setting up the defender selling the deep route and then making a good cut and shortening the route.

Phil Taylor- He's likely going to be a Nose Tackle, but if he's still sitting there when the Bengals pick in the 2nd they may want to take a long look at Taylor. He dominated the lineman drills pretty much overpowering anyone who stood in his way. Did a great job using his hands to keep offensive lineman from being able to engage him and if they couldn't get their hands on him it was over he would push them right back into the QB. Taylor would give the Bengals a run stuffer inside with Peko and they'd be impossible to run up the middle against.

Clint Boling- He was a Tackle at Georgia, but is probably going to be a Guard in the NFL and would be an instant upgrade over Mathis or Livings at LG right now. He won most of his matchups in lineman drills which is impressive as those drills are set up for the defense to win. Has heavy hands when he uses that punch and jolts the defender back when he got those hands on him. When he was inside at Guard and defenders didn't have space they couldn't beat him. Was worried he wasn't strong enough and would get pushed back at Guard against interior D lineman, but that wasn't the case at all.

Cameron Jordan- Is probably best fit as a 5 technique in a 3-4, but could be a good DT. He looked better than any D lineman there besides Phil Taylor. For his huge size he has excellent speed and agility. Could cause match up problems in a 4-3 defense like the Bengals as he could play DE on running downs and move inside on passing downs creating favorable match ups for himself on every down.
