S Corey Lynch at 177
The Bengals have selected safety Corey Lynch of Appalachian State with the 177th overall pick in the sixth round.
Lynch blocked three kicks last season on special teams. He is almost 6 feet, 1 inch and 204 pounds. He has played well in big games for the Mountaineers and projects to be a solid backup safety in the NFL and an immediate contributor on special teams.
One of his blocked kicks was Michigan's field-goal attempt at the end of Appalachian State's upset of the Wolverines, which he also recovered and returned deep downfield.

Post a Comment*Corey Lynch is an OUTSTANDING pick here. He is a special teams upgrade immediately and will compete for playing time at safety. Once they bulk him up a bit more he will be a good prospect for strong safety. He may be a year or two away from starting, but he will definitely help the team this year.
He's also really smart and a high-character guy, leader type, the Bengals obviously need more of those.
This kids a play maker and an exceptional character guy. For all of the OSU fans out there enjoy this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOF6-GScIGo&feature=related
