You could almost hear the collective outrage among Bengals fans and draft purists when Cincinnati selected tight end Drew Sample was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft. Many people didn’t expect the tight end to be drafted that early.
The draft is funny that way though. It is, quite simply, pure anarchy stretched across seven rounds. As much as we all try to predict or analyze how certain teams might behave, it ultimately proves to be fruitless year after year. You will often hear people say “you could have drafted him in x round,” but the truth is no one really knows when these guys will get drafted.
