The Bengals had Derrick Harvey as "their guy" at No. 9 as of late this week, but have since changed to Sedrick Ellis, according to FOXSports' Jay Glazer.

 

Maybe the Dewayne Robertson trade to Denver changed Cincinnati's mind. Of course, this is just more pre-draft chatter to take with a grain of salt. Glazer notes that the Bengals "also like (Illinois RB) Rashard Mendenhall."

Cedric Ellis is the Bengals guy if he is on the board. Anything other than that would be foolish. Otherwise they will go Harvey, imo. RB is a need for them but they have used too many early picks on backs as of late.

Not sure if the Broncos will go with an "o' lineman at 12 but I don't think they have any more faith in Travis Henry than we do in Benson. They may also be in the market for Mendenhall.

Broncos are either going to pass on Mendenhall (likely putting him there at 14) and take an oline or they take Mendenhall (which means another lineman is there for the Bears to consider and with Mendy off the board the debate should be between which OLT they like more and if they grade a couple of them even, see if some other team wants to move up to where the Bears are to grab a WR or another position player; but obviously only a couple spots so the Bears know one of the guys they like will still be there).

Not surprised...

 

Mendenhall should be drawing interest from teams in need of a RB... Rudi looks a bit beat up in Cincy.
