Bengals get four compensatory picks
PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Bengals, as expected, gained four additional draft picks -- compensation for free agents lost in 2007 -- in the draft late next month.
The Bengals were awarded with the 97th overall pick, the 34th of the third round. They also will have an additional sixth-round pick (No. 207 overall) and two more in the seventh round (Nos. 244 and 246 overall).
The additional picks were determined by the NFL Management Council.
In 2007, the Bengals lost these free agents: safety Kevin Kaesviharn (Saints), guard Eric Steinbach (Browns), tight end Tony Stewart (Raiders), wide receiver Kelley Washington (Patriots) and quarterback Anthony Wright (Giants). They gained defensive tackle Michael Myers (Broncos).
The Bengals already had six original picks, including the No. 9 overall. They traded a seventh-round pick to St. Louis in September for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
