We take a look at why the Bengals made a good move selecting Dre Kirkpatrick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Back in the 2012 NFL Draft, Alabama star Dre Kirkpatrick was viewed by many as the second or third-best corner in the draft and someone worthy of a top-20 pick.
The Bengals ended up taking him with the 17th-overall pick, and while he's shown flashes of justifying that pick, he hasn't lived up to that billing through his first four years in the NFL. We talked about that earlier this week and how Kirkpatrick's days in Bengals stripes may be numbered with several other talented corners on the roster, not to mention his contract is up at the end of the 2016 season.
