The Bengals drafted Albama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick in the first round of the NFL Draft last week. According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Kirkpatrick could be the starter at left corner depending on what the future of Nate Clements is with the team. He is in the last year of his contract and has a cap number of $5.5 million this season ($4.3 million base, $1 million prorated bonus and $200,000 reporting bonus). If Kirkpatrick is their guy, then Clements could be a June 1 release.

Cincinnati Bengals 2012 Draft Grades

17. CB Dre Kirkpatrick BI liked Kirkpatrick a little better at 21 for the Bengals (26th on my board) and I’m not sure any team from 18-20 would have taken him and if they had, that’s not too bad because this was a very, very deep cornerback class. This isn’t a terrible pick, however, because it at least fills a need.27. G Kevin Zeitler C-I really don’t like this pick. There’s...

You know the Bengals have some questions at Wide Receiver. You also knew they were going to address that at some point in the draft.

Watch the video below, for every catch there is a shot of Sanu laying...
