Looks like they went to commercial for the pick and then a QB was chosen so they went on and on about Rattler. Now they are showing tape on every pick again. Would have liked to hear some of their thoughts on Newton.
NO, they didn't. This is when draft coverage by both ESPN and NFL Network goes into the toilet. Not worth watching now, as it is last rounds every year. All you get is the talking heads. few highlight footage. Didn't even get much info on Newton. The CBS draft tracker site says Newton has a skill in good in press coverage. Not a good tackler, not very athletic and on and on what he is bad at. However is a good press coverage guy.....I see he is 6 foot tall and 190. and Bengals tend to like the taller CB's over those short guys, so 6 foot tall is probably what Bengals like. TV didn't say much about him, but they skip over Cincinnati a lot in the drafts in the late rounds, and not much now for Bengals Fans to keep watching ESPN of NFL Network as they will skip over Cincinnati from here to the end. .....It didn't say good on Special Teams. sometimes a late DB is to help on Special Teams, but no info on that.....Good in press coverage, which is something. A player to develop and Coach Up.
