have thrown a combined 15 passes in regular-season games and are not the long-term answer. Whoever they draft, it won't be a situation like 2003 where Carson Palmer got to sit for a year and learn the offense. He will be expected to play immediately.Wide receiver: Cincinnati needs to draft a young playmaker who can stretch the field because Chad Ochocinco, Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell are all entering the final year of their contracts. With Ochocinco's production declining the past three years and scheduled to make $6 million this year, the odds of him being on the opening-day roster are slim. The Bengals haven't drafted a receiver in the first round since 2000 but they have squandered nearly $25 million in free agency the last two years in trying to find someone to line up opposite Ochocinco.Safety: The Bengals could go into the season with Chris Crocker and Reggie Nelson as the starters (Roy Williams is an unrestricted free agent), but could get caught short for the third straight year due to injuries. . nfl wholesale They could find a safety or two in the middle rounds but Lewis has already said that the quality in this year's class is not good.Offensive line: Guard is an immediate need with Bobbie Williams entering the final year of his contract and Nate Livings inconsistent.

Should the Bengals take Carson Palmer at his word and believe that he will never play for them again, they'll feel the pressure to select either Blaine Gabbert or Cam Newton, should either be available to them at No. 4. If neither is, th. cheap jerseyse Bengals are expected to select Georgia wide receiver A. e a priority. Ideally, the Texans will get a starting cornerback and move their best corner, Glover Quin, to free safety. If they don't get a corner and Quin stays at home for his third season, they could use a second-round pick on Rahim Moore of UCLA. Strong safety: Bernard Pollard, the team's leading tackler, wasn't tendered. He was told he didn't fit into Wade Phillips' system. They have Troy Nolan and Dominique Barber as veterans for this position, but neither is a big-time playmaker like Phillips wants. First round focus 11th overall --New defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will have a big say in this draft because of the dire needs on that side of the ball--maybe a larger say than he did while he was head coach in Dallas.

That's fine with the Vikings, who feel it's time for them to move on. Frazier's preference would be to draft a quarterback and have that player develop under new offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave.Defensive line: Starting left end Ray Edwards is expected to be a free agent when a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached and that means the Vikings will be in search of a starter.
