Bengals draft picks
In addition to their No. 9 overall pick in the first round, the Bengals unofficially will have the 46th and 77th selections in the second and third rounds. That third-round pick, of course, has been traded today to the Lions in exchange for defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Detroit also gets the Bengals' fifth-round pick.
Compensatory picks have yet to be figured into the draft order. Those picks are additional selections awarded by the NFL based on a team's losses in free agency, in terms of number and quality of players, the previous year.
The departures of Eric Steinbach, Kevin Kaesviharn and Tony Stewart, among others, should yield the Bengals a few compensatory picks, including one possibly as high as the third round. Those picks will be announced in late March at the league meeting. The Bengals could get as many as three or four compensatory picks. Compensatory picks can't be traded.
The draft will be April 26 and 27.

Post a Comment*Have the Bengals ever heard of theposition called "Tight End"
What happened.
At one time we had talent such as: Bob Trumpy,Dan Ross, Rodney Holman....That was yesterday.
Adding a TE to the mix makes me wonder what our offense would be like with a first class player at this position.
