Bengals Draft:

1. Patrick Peterson
2. Christian Ponder
3. Greg Jones
4. Greg Romeus
5. Greg Salas
6. Kris O'Dowd
7. Jaiquawn Jarrett

I'm pretty excited with this draft. Although the Bengals still have a hole at DT, the board never matched up to the talent, save for the first pick. I was a little hesitant to spend it on either Dareus or Fairley, and decided to pick the surest thing. I also think Peterson gives the Bengals flexibility to guard the 3 WR formations that the Steelers and Ravens run out, and if necessary, Leon Hall could move to free safety, or moved to a team in need of a top level corner.

Ponder is a great fit for the WCO, Jones should make the Bengals' LB corps one of the better units in the league, and Romeus could anchor one of the starting end spots. He's a huge upside pick with a definitive injury risk, but he played like a first rounder at Pitt.

Salas is a WCO possession type guy who I think a lot of people are underrating due to their preoccupation with Austin Pettis. O'Dowd helps to fill out the center spot, which has an uncertain future in Cincy, and Jarrett could replace Roy Williams, or at the very least, serve as a valuable STer/backup.

This team has a ton of needs, and I would have liked to have added a banger at RB and a 3 technique, but you can't fill every hole for a team this bad in one draft.

I also added the following players for OTW:

Chargers:

6. Jeremy Beal

Jets:

6. Ronald Johnson
7. Scott Lutrus

I don't know how Beal and Johnson fell that far, but I think they can stick on a roster and become productive role players. Lutrus is probably a backup/STer, but you often get great value out of late round LBers.
