For the third year in a row, the Bengals traded down in the second round of the NFL Draft; ending up with tight end Drew Sample after dropping back 10 picks in exchange for a fourth and sixth-round pick. Had the round begin a little differently, we may have seen the Bengals trade in the opposite direction.
Per Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, the Bengals attempted to trade up in the second round for a “first-round offensive lineman” that ended up being one of the first picks on Friday.
