Has anyone noticed how the Bengals have been getting all of the Bear's leftovers?

Cedric Benson (cut by the Bears)

Tank Johnson (cut by the Bears)

Craig Krenzel (cut by the Bears)

There were even discussions of us picking up Rex Grossman as a backup QB. 

I guess its okay though.  We are not at the bottom of the hierarchy.  We give our leftovers to the Lions i.e. Rudi Johnson, Jon Kitna

Not sure but there may be more examples

9 players were drafted in the lottery.  

BY DRAFT ORDER

Derrick Rose (#1), Ben Gordon #3, Tyrus Thomas (#4), Drew Gooden (#4), Luol Deng (#7), Kirk Hinrich (#7), Larry Hughes (#8), Joakim Noah (#9), Thabo Sefolosha (#13)

By Usefulness

Rose, Deng, Gordon, Thomas, Hinrich, Gooden, Noah, Sefolosha, Hughes

No question our team has talent.  Hopefully Rose can make this collection of Lottery talent into a playoff team.  I wouldn't mind picking 32nd in next year's draft, if you catch my drift.

I know that Arenas is goofy and probably more interested in his blog and saying japanese words than improving his game, but wouldn't he be an upgrade over the streaky Ben Gordon?

I don't know how the salaries would work but imagine this starting lineup.

PG- Rose

SG- Arenas

SF- Deng

PF- Thomas

C- Noah

This is assuming we can resign Deng and maybe we could work out a sign and trade for Arenas.  Thoughts?
