Once the laughingstock of the league, the Cincinnati Bengals turned around last year and became a playoff contender. This year they held eight picks in the first four rounds, including a second rounder received from the Patriots for disgruntled back Corey Dillon. With their first few picks however, the Bengals selected players that many analysts agree were premature picks. For instance, they selected Michigan tailback Chris Perry when Kevin Jones was still on the board, and only one running back had been taken. If they had used those picks well, they might have been laughing at many other teams this season.
