He has the tools to eventually start and was excellent value at this point. The Bengals had their best draft in a decade. In the 1st round, they selected wideout Peter Warrick of Florida State. Warrick is a terrific playmaker who will team with young passer Akili Smith to form a big-play tandem. In the 2nd round, they selected corner Mark Roman of Louisiana State.
Roman is a good cover man who figures to push for a starting job at either corner or safety.
In the 3rd round, they chose wideout Ron Dugans who also played at Florida State. Dugans is a sturdy athletic receiver with polished skills. He will help immediately in three wideout sets and has the ability to challenge for a starting job in time. In the 4th round, they added RB Curtis Keaton of James Madison. Keaton is a fast tailback with good natural running skills.
