falconsstomp Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sources: Bengals send picks to Jets for RobertsonBy Michael SmithESPN.comThe New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms on a trade that would send defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson to the Bengals in exchange for Cincinnati's fourth- and fifth-round picks (Nos. 114 and 151) in the upcoming draft, according to league sources.RobertsonCompletion of the trade is contingent upon Robertson agreeing to a new contract -- he had two years remaining on his rookie deal with New York -- and passing a physical, though neither is expected to hold up the deal, which could be finalized as early as Monday.On Friday the Bengals had a deal in place to acquire Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers in exchange for third- and fifth-round picks, but that trade fell through when it did not meet league approval. The Lions then traded Rogers to the Bengals' in-state rivals, the Browns, for a third rounder and cornerback Leigh Bodden.In Robertson, 26, the Bengals, hoping to improve a defense that has ranked higher than 27th in yards allowed once in the past five seasons, will get a player who isn't as big or as dominant as Rogers has been in his first five season. But Robertson is just as hungry for a fresh start. Robertson, 6-foot-1 and 310 pounds, should be a better fit as a penetrating "3-technique" tackle in Cincinnati's 4-3 scheme than he had been in the Jets' 3-4 the past two years.In an interesting twist, the Bengals will have on their roster two of the first four picks in the 2003 draft. In fact, Cincinnati selected quarterback Carson Palmer first overall that year from among a group of four finalists that also included Robertson, whom Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis (along with many other personnel evaluators) is said to have loved coming out of the University of Kentucky.Robertson will be the fifth interior defensive lineman to be dealt for at least one draft pick since Friday, joining Corey Williams (Packers to Browns), Kris Jenkins (Panthers to Jets), Marcus Stroud (Jaguars to Bills) and Rogers. Some do not consider the 2008 draft to be deep at the defensive tackle position, thus several teams have decided to instead spend pick on a veteran.Michael Smith is a senior writer for ESPN.com.

john shepherd Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The_ ATL (3/3/2008)Who in the blue **** is Dwayne Robertson?DT for the Jets who didn't fit with the 3-4 scheme but was drafted 3rd overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move down, like many have suggested, we will have more DL and OL to compete in training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendyne Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yeah, when the Jets drafted him 3rd overall i think it was, they gave him a ridiculous contract.It was massive in his second season something like $6m. Which is alot for a second year player at DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return-of-the-Falcon Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 we need to keep all of our draft picks, we really only need someone to rotate with lewis and babs, i dont think we are as bad off at DT as some people want to think.Im all for waiting till the last pick of the second to draft a DT, or even the 3rd.

Stats. draft position, you know things that matter.Robertson was a HIGH 1st round draft pick that actually cost the Jets 2, 1st round picks to get. He was a poor fit for the 3-4 scheme & he was a Herm Edwards guy, so he had to be run out of town at any cost. Dude had the physical skills to dominate, but never did it, so that's why he's gone on the cheap & nobody really wanted him that badly. I think the Bengals are getting a steal here. If he gets in a defense that fits him, his play should improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
