Bengals take tackle Cedric Ogbuehi with 21st overall pick (The Associated Press)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Bengals took a bit of a risk with the 21st overall pick in the draft, choosing offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi (oh-BWAY'-hee) of Texas A&M even though he's coming off reconstructive knee surgery.

Cincinnati doesn't need a draft pick to come in and start right away, so they're looking for players who will add depth for now and grow into a bigger role next year.

Ogbuehi fit the mold. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound lineman played left tackle and right tackle in college. He has to fully recover from a torn right ACL suffered in the Liberty Bowl.
