Corner Back problem?

Clarkpba · 02-15-2012, 05:27 PM

I heard a report today coming out of cinci that Leon Hall may not even play in 2012 while recovering from his ruptured achillis tendon. If he is unavailable for the entire season that makes corner a much higher priority going into free agency and the draft. Outside of Claiborn and Kirkpatrick I think the next best player would be Janoris Jenkins. I know he had off field issues in the past but I really think he could be a steal at 17 or maybe 21 if he falls that far. I have a feeling he is gonna really shine at the combine and it may push him up draft boards.

The Bengals are better off grabing a CB in FA and focusing on the front 7 in the draft. Also Leon Hall is on scheldue to be ready for TC, he will miss the off season workouts though.

Missing an entire season will hurt Leon a lot as well our secondary take a hit. Clements is a year older so yes, you could say the Bengals have a cornerback problem that needs to be addressed.
