I'll give the Bengals a C+.

Keith Rivers is going to be a stud. Our LB corps are going to be solid if Brooks comes back healthy and Odell is even close to what he was two years ago. Picking Jerome Simpson in the 2nd round was a stretch, but I think he's going to be a solid. Pat Sims has all the making to be a great d-tackle. Andre Caldwell is a great receiver that made big plays in big games in college. Jason Shirly is an ABSOLUTE ANIMAL at almost 6'6 330 but has character issues. The TE pick was a WASTE. Cory Lynch blocked and ran back the field goal to beat Michigan the 1st game of the year, so he's good in my book. Angelo Craig is an average DE from the hometown Bearcats. And finally Mario Urrutia from Louisville. He has some work ethic issues, but you can't deny 4.4 speed and being a 6'6 WR.

In the end the Bengals have a lot to prove. They have been widely criticized for not moving up and trying make a move at Ellis like the Saints did. There are a couple questionable picks in our draft and 1 clear waste of a pick.
