Saturday notched the third and final day of the NFL Draft. Each team opened the day knowing which players they were planning to pick, and hoped their targeted players would be available when the time came to make a selection.

So I guess AJ McCarron made a really poor impression on NFL scouts and front office people. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that AJ McCarron, who quarterbacked Alabama to a pair of national titles, rubbed teams “the wrong way” when he met with them heading into the draft. It’s not the first time that we’ve heard things along these lines about AJ McCarron. NBC’s Pro Football Talk reported that McCarron’s...
Late Friday night, the Cincinnatii Bengals used their third round pick to upgrade their defensive line. After losing last year’s starting DE Michael Johnson (56 tackles and 4 sacks) to free agency, the Bengals had to bring in a good replacement. West Virginia DE Will Clark could he the answer. Selected with Cincinnati’s third pick in the draft, the 6’6 pass rusher registered six sacks last season....
The Cincinnati Bengals have drafted former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron in the fifth round of this year’s draft. With Andy Dalton in the final year of his contract, McCarron will have to prove that he can be an NFL starter if he wants to take his job. The chances are that Dalton gets an extension and McCarron doesn’t end up being a good NFL starter. var ACE_AR = {Site: '898551', Size: '468060',...

A nasty defense just got that much nastier on Thursday, May 8th. When the Bengals selected cornerback Darqueze Dennard out of Michigan State in the first round and No. 24 overall, their pass defense received a huge upgrade. I was shocked to see Dennard still available that late in the first round, but thank god he was. After drafting Dre Kirkpatrick at No. 17 overall in the 2012 draft, the Bengals...
Despite his claims that he would go in the first round of the NFL Draft, former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron was not selected until the fifth round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Some of McCarron’s behavior over the past few months may have something to do with that. According to Pro Football Talk, ESPN’s Adam Schefter […]...

Mike Brown likes leverage almost as much as he likes quarterbacks. Or maybe it's the other way around. For that reason, you guessed the Bengals might help themselves to a QB during Friday night's portion of the never-ending NFL draft. They didn't.

The Cincinnati Bengals used a fifth round pick to snag Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, who slipped deeper into the NFL Draft than many expected. The three-time national champion received a warm welcome from Bengals’ starer Andy Dalton, who tweeted at McCarron following the pick. The greeting from his soon-to-be offensive coordinator wasn’t as pleasant, though. Here’s Hue Jackson on the McCarron...
CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals got yet another quarterback to back up Andy Dalton, this one with a history of winning big games. They took Alabama’s AJ McCarron in the fifth round Saturday. He fell to the 164th pick overall. So it’ll be AJ-to-A.J. in Cincinnati, but mostly in practice. Dalton is the unchallenged starter heading into the final year of his contract, and he and the Bengals are talking...
