Not
a bad draft at all, although it doesnt
have many sure fire starters after Hall.
Hall fits the Bengals' scheme and, in a
nice change of pace for them, is a
high-character person. Kenny Irons will
be able to step in as the third down
back and Marvin White can see some
playing time at safety. The rest are
strictly developmental prospects.

Leon
Hall
CB
Michigan
Analysis
Revis and
Hall were the two best
cornerbacks in the draft,
and after the Jets selected
Revis, there wasn't much the
Bengals had to think about
once their turn came up.
Both had top ten talent and
Hall instantly makes
Cincinnati's defense better.
He has superb coverage
skills, tremendous
instincts, and outstanding
toughness to lend strong
support against the run.
Then the big bonus here is
that Hall is a good kid who
can turn around the public
impression of the Bengals
franchise
Overall
Value: 1 Pick Value: 1

Auburn
Analysis
Irons is very
shifty and elusive, has
great hands and was
productive at Auburn. A
little undersized, but other
than that a nice change of
