A questionable pick from last year’s draft now seems like a waste Kevin Huber Jersey White , as Mark Walton may have used up all of his strikes."When the Bengals moved on from cornerback Adam Jones, many thought that Cincinnati having to worry about players off the field was over. That held true until this offseason when rookie running back Mark Walton started getting into trouble. He has been arrested for possession of marijuana and also for battery in just over a three-month period.He now has his third arrest to add to the list, according to the Miami Herald:Officers found 14 grams of marijuana, a rifle and several fully loaded rounds in the car that was rented by Mark Walton.This obviously puts Walton on a pretty quick chopping block for the Bengals, especially as new head coach Zac Taylor doesn’t have any ties to the running back http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-preston-brown-jersey , and he is trying to establish a culture. In his introductory press conferences, Taylor preached character and accountability. While he has yet to bring in his first draft class, it’s very likely that he takes these facets into account—especially in the wake of Walton’s legal issues. Walton was the Bengals fourth-round pick in last year’s draft, and it was a bit head scratching even at the time. At best, he would take Giovani Bernard’s place when the veteran’s contract ran up. In any case Womens Vontaze Burfict Jersey , it felt like a luxury pick that Cincinnati didn’t even need to make since they had promising young running backs like Brian Hill and Tra Carson.It looks even worse when you also realize that Cincinnati never drafted an offensive tackle during that draft either, and now they likely wasted a fourth-round pick that could’ve been spent on a developmental tackle instead.Walton had 14 rushes for 34 yards and five receptions for 41 yards during his rookie year. He never scored a touchdown with the Bengals, and he struggled to get on the field with Joe Mixon and Bernard ahead of him. He played in 14 games.That will probably end up being Walton’s career stats with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals knew they needed to rebuild their offensive line, so using their first-round pick on a left tackle was a clear sign of the emphasis.Then, they lost him for the season.When rookie Jonah Williams was lost for the season to a shoulder injury Jordan Willis Jersey , the Bengals are moving incumbent Cordy Glenn back outside after planning to make him the left guard.But new coach Zac Taylor said he was still upbeat (like he has a choice) about the state of their line entering his first season.“Cordy (Glenn) can move back to left tackle which is where he’s played his whole career. We have a lot of confidence in him there,” Taylor said, via Tyler Dragon of the . “It’s unfortunate to lose guys in their rookie year. He had high expectations for himself. But we’ll be good.”The Bengals now have to declare a competition for the left guard job. They signed veteran John Jerry this offseason, and will spend training camp looking at options.“We have a lot of guys in there that can compete for those jobs,” Taylor said. “The left guard spot will be a competition in training camp and we’ll be excited to see what happens there. We have a lot of good guys in the mix who we are counting on to step up and do their job.“[Christian] Westerman is in there Womens Vincent Rey Jersey , we just signed John Jerry [and] Trey Hopkins is in there as well. A lot of guys who can get in there and compete.”It’s far from ideal, but they’re fortunate to have a fallback position as good as Glenn, even though he wasn’t at his best last season.
