The Bengals have the #9 pick in the NFL draft in April. There's almost no way Darren McFadden slips all the way down to them, thankfully, taking D-Mac out of the equation for the Bengals (thankfully). But, there have been several rumors and suggestions that Bengals are interested in moving up in the draft to take the Arkansas running back. To this I say, no thanks. I'm a big fan of McFadden. I think he's going to have a nice NFL career. But, running back is not something that the Bengals need, at least not like defensive tackle. And, oh wait, there's two incredible DTs that will be top 10 picks. So, if the Bengals are hell-bent on moving up, might I suggest trading with Kansas City and going to #5 where they take either Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis. Either of these guys will anchor the D-line and go a long way to improving this unit immediately. The Bengals have had a miserable history with first round running backs. Between Rudi, Irons and Watson, they have enough yards to get by. Dorsey or Ellis make the biggest impact.

I'm all for the Bengals being aggressive and moving up, just not for McFadden.

Besides, I think of the two Arkansas RBs in the draft that Felix Jones would be a bigger impact for the Bengals, as he can return kicks and punts, an area the Bengals have been awful at. So, if we go after a surprise offensive player, he better be able to pull double duty.
