Bengals get seventh-round compensatory pick

PHOENIX -- The Bengals this afternoon received an additional draft pick -- in the seventh round -- from the NFL.

The Bengals now have the 43rd pick in the seventh round -- and the 253rd of the draft -- just two from the last.

The Bengals in 2006 lost unrestricted free agents in quarterback Jon Kitna (Lions) and tight end Matt Schobel (Eagles) and signed quarterback Anthony Wright (Ravens) and safety Dexter Jackson (Buccaneers).

The Bengals received the compensatory pick even though they did not suffer a net loss in compensatory free agents. The players lost were ranked higher than the players signed, based on a point differential set upon salary and performance.

We should get a 3rd rounder next year after the brutal offseason we had this year... Losses include Steinbach-Kase-Washington-Wilkins-Smith (we get no "credit" for Simmons as we cut him). We need a 3rd and a 4th. If our backups do "stepup" we are on the right longterm track. If they don't--we are in a world of trouble...
