Six Aprils ago, the Bengals were about to be on the clock for the second time in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. The team had just selected cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick with the 17th overall pick, which they acquired in the Carson Palmer trade with the Oakland Raiders.

The Bengals of course accepted this deal and selected the second guard taken in that draft, Kevin Zeitler.
