Bengals' fourth-round pick is TCU safety Marvin White
The Bengals selected safety Marvin White from Texas Christian with their fourth-round pick, 114 overall.
White is 6 feet, 1 inch, 199 pounds. He was a junior college transfer who intercepted seven interceptions the past two seasons. He started 22 of 25 games for TCU.
He is considered a big hitter who excels in run support but needs work in coverage.
"He's a great contact player, in and out of alleys," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said this afternoon of White. "He fits us for our need on defense and our future and all four phases of our special teams."
White was arrested in high school for assault for defending his mother, who was being beaten by White's step-father. He otherwise is regarded as a high-character person, according to NFLdraftscout.com.
With the 110th pick, University of Cincinnati cornerback John Bowie went to the Oakland Raiders in the fourth round. The pick was acquired by Oakland in exchange for trading wide receiver Randy Moss to the Patriots.

Post a Comment*Come on you wonderful fans, what is our complaint today?
This has been a good draft to this point.
Not sure I agree with the Bengals having to go defensive all the way when the players simply weren't there (signing Brooks in the supplemental makes this a 1-2 defensive draft).
Irons can carry the load with Rudi, Perry may not return, I think that pick makes sense...was he only the third RB taken?
That said, I would have drafted TE in the fourth as you suggested in your previous post.
Per Scounts, Inc. regarding Marvin White:
"there are serious concerns about his mental capacity and ability to line up a defense."
That's a polite way of saying that he's an idiot. If that's true, this was a terrible pick.
Typical in finding one of the few negative comments lidted on that report. If you read entirely you would notice that there are many more positives about Whites game and he has an upside.
