Round 1, Pick 24 (24) Darqueze Dennard, CB

Honestly, we don't really know. Was supposed to play slot but he sucked there and got replaced by Josh Shaw. He's supposed to be an outside CB but we're about to pay Dre Kirkpatrick and still have Adam Jones. When he has played outside, it didn't look particularly great but he wasn't terrible. It's like they overplanned at CB. Grade: C+

Round 2, Pick 23 (55) Jeremy Hill, RB

loving ruled year 1, has sucked extremely hard ever since. Grade: D+

Round 3, Pick 24 (88) Will Clarke, DE

He's fine as a rotational guy, we could probably re-sign him cheap and keep a steady hand. I'm into it. Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 11 (111) Russell Bodine, C

This was only the third time in Bengals history that they traded up. They were afraid Russell Bodine would be drafted. I wish he was drafted by someone else. He has gotten better every year but that progress has been from complete poo poo to not complete poo poo to a little bit more not complete poo poo. He's started every game and that's a plus in a sad, sad way. Is, in fact, a dumb baby back bitch. Grade: D-

Round 5, Pick 24 (164) AJ McCarron, QB

gently caress him. Grade: F

Round 6, Pick 36 (212) Marquis Flowers, OLB

Special teams guy, plays well when he's in the game in short bursts. Grade: C+

Round 7, Pick 24 (239) James Wright, WR

Bengals drafted a guy that didn't play WR at all his senior year because of Odell & Jarvis. Most thought it was a silly pick. Turns out, he's good! Great on special teams, will make a dope catch. He tore his knee real bad at the end of the first year and lost his second year because of it, but came back pretty decent in year three. He might be a casualty next year due to definitely drafting a WR and concerns with his knee, but he's been cool the whole time he's been a Bengal. Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 37 (252) Lavelle Westbrooks, CB

Waived. Grade: F

We picked up Ryan Hewitt, our H-Back, undrafted. He's great. Grade: A
