The Cincinnati Bengals struck gold early in last year’s NFL Draft

Found January 10, 2012 on Bengals Locker:
PLAYERS: A.J. Green,  Andy Dalton,  Dontay Moch,  Clint Boling,  Robert Sands,  Jordan Shipley,  Korey Lindsey,  Jay Finley
TEAMS: Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals are in the market for a No. 2 receiver, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Fantasy Spin: Jerome Simpson was not a worthy wingman for rookie phenom A.J.
