First Annual Bengals Blog Mock Draft



Rules:

-There will be no magical trading involved. (i.e. I trade Chad Johnson to the Raiders for the 4th overall pick and Al Davis' corpse)
-The picks were distributed by age (T-Bone gets the first pick)
-The draft will be moderated through instant messenger.
-You must explain your selection.
