  WHO DEY!
  
  What a Draft.
  
  I think since we basically have no scouts we just watch ESPN and Draft from the best avaiable list and it works.

  Hopefully they are not the same ol' Bungals. Cinci has hired some new scouts recently. Not sure if ya heard about this.
  

  CINCINNATI - Yes, you read the headline correctly. The Cincinnati Bengals have added two people to the team's scouting department.
  The organization announced Friday afternoon that Robert Livingston and Steven Radicevic have joined the Bengals as full-time scouts.
  Livingston, a native of Hendersonville, N.C., served as defensive quality control coach for Vanderbilt in 2011 Prior to that he worked on the Furman University football staff in 2010. From 2007-09, he played free safety at William & Mary, contributing to one of the top defensive units in the NCAA’s FCS ranks.
  Radicevic, a Culver City, Calif. native, served on the UCLA football staff for the past five years, including the last three as Director of Football Operations. He played as an offensive lineman at Cal-Davis and later as a defensive lineman at UCLA, ending his playing career in 2006. He has worked extensively on UCLA’s recruiting efforts and was the program’s point person for NFL scouts the past two seasons.
  While adding two scouts to the team may not be a big deal to a lot of people, for many Bengals fans it is. The team's scouting department has long been regarded as one of the smallest in the NFL. Fans have been clamoring for the team to add scouts for years.

  I'm glad we have two scouts but compared to other teams it's still like having none. The cowboys have between 15-25 on staff at all time and usually closer to the 25.

  Burfict could be a useful free agent signing not sure about most of the others.

  The Cowboys haven't exactly done much lately. Jerry just spends a ton of money.

  I just used them as an example most teams have at least 15 scouts

  Agreed, I really like the Burflict signing, if he can keep his head on straight...watch out.

  Ehh.
  
  We didn't have him at all last year and seemed to be alright. I think Moch has the chance to see alot of playing time when he actually does get the chance to be on the field.

  I agree with you there, doubt you'll really miss him much on the field. Just thought it was interesting because I know the kid was a stud athlete and fast as hell. Fastest LBer in last year's draft if I'm not mistaken. If nothing else, when he comes back should improve the special teams.

  Yep your right on all accounts there. He definitely has the physical tools needed to become a beast, just got to get his ass on the field now!
