Bengals make fifth-round pick, offensive tackle
By Mark Curnutte

The Bengals selected Central Michigan offensive tackle Adam Kieft in the fifth round this afternoon.
Kieft is 6-feet-7, 337 pounds and is a developmental project.
For the fourth consecutive round, ESPN's live coverage of the draft went to commercial when the Bengals were on the clock. Only the Bengals' first overall pick, outside linebacker David Pollack, was shown live on TV.

What about Michael Munoz--why didn't the Bengals grab him?
ESPN has shown a pretty healthy dose of disrespect toward the Bengals in this draft. Couldn’t believe it, but did you catch Trey Wingo's comment that "the Cincinnati BUNGALS are on the clock" in the first round? Hey Trey, wake up buddy and realize Marvin, his players and coaches deserve better at this point.
At least two of his colleagues are giving Cincy credit. Chris Mortenson seems high on the Bengals' chances in the AFC and Mel Kiper said he likes what they've been able to do in this year's draft.
Yeah, we didn't get any respect online either. I asked a question about who they thought the second round pick would be and got no response. They're like that. I pretty much don't watch ESPN at all anymore.
