Rivera says we will draft # 1 pick based on biggest need and we will use the tag

...and the Bengals are pretty cheap, but the 3rd pick + the 35th overall picks would still be more expensive than just the 1st overall pick.

Well, let me check myself on that based on the 2010 draft (assuming no rookie scale):

1. St.Louis Sam Bradford - QB 6 year $86 million contract, $50 million guaranteed

VS.

3. Tampa Bay Gerald McCoy - DT 5 year $63 million contract, $35 million guaranteed

35.Tampa Bay Brian Price - DT - 4 year $5.35 million contract, $2.72 million signing bonus

Total = 68.35 million with 37.72 million guaranteed/signing bonus.

Nope, based on drafting a QB # 1 overall last year vs. two DT's at picks 3 and 35, # 1 overall pick would still me much more expensive, especially in terms of guaranteed money, stupid statement on my part...

...but if there is a rookie scale this equation could change.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
