Lewis: “I feel real confident (he can start as rookie). That’s what drew us to him. There’s going to be some challenges.”

Very interesting statement from a coach who put his previous franchise on the bench for a season. I think Marvin is trying to rebuild the season in the way Gruden wants the offense.  OC Jay Gruden went to as far to say :

“For what I envision, Andy is the best fit.”

He even admitted his man crush:

“Been a big Andy fan throughout. When I watch all these QBs, his accuracy is uncanny. He has a great feel for the pocket.”

No matter what happens with this draft, these 2 rounds are the ultimate sign of turning the page. Ocho has been replaced in round one, Carson in round 2.  Hope the fan base is ready for the “New Look” Bengals.
