NFL Supplemental Draft: Brooks to Bengals

According to sources, it appears that the Bengals have forfeited their third round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft in order to select Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks.

One must question the decision by the Bengals, who already have more than their fair share of both starting-caliber LBs and players who have gotten into too much trouble.

darn, you beat me too it by a minute!! Yeah, I think david pollack is more than capable at handling his position. I thought (and hoped) that the dolphins would get brooks. The Bengals do need him though, with all the trouble their players have been getting into as you stated above. Hopefully they didnt add "just another criminal" to their roster.

How long is Brooks' rap sheet? Some teams look at a player's 40 time, whilethe Bengals look at the player's probation time!

That was a terrible pick by the Bengals. Brooks was worth a third round pick two seasons ago. However (Steven A) he missed the first half of last season due to injuries and bad knees. When he came back he was 25 pnds over weight and Coach Groh benched him. Thats a big fall for a player who was Dikus finalist the year before. Now he has legal inssues ontop of poor practice habits, poor move by the Bungles.

I think it's just a Cincy thing. Remember when the fan got busted by is PO officer when he was put on Kiss Cam at the Reds game?

I just read this on ESPN: "Of the 34 players chosen since the supplemental draft was introduced in 1977, there have been more than twice as many prospects who didn't log a single snap in a regular-season game (nine) as there have been Pro Bowl players (four)."

Odell's gonna miss the first 4 games and Brooks can only play 10 total because he's not allowed to leave the state! haha... poor Ohio (NFL) football.
