We all laughed at the national media when they repeatedly mocked safeties to the Cincinnati Bengals leading up to the NFL Draft. Did they forget about Dax Hill? Did they not get the memo when the team signed Nick Scott?
Well, we were wrong, as the Bengals used their third-round pick on Alabama Crimson Tide safety Jordan Battle.
To be more accurate, they traded their 3rd Round pick for a slightly lower third-round pick and a late sixth-round pick. So, in fact, they parlayed their third-round pick into Battle and Michigan punter Brad Robbins, but I digress.
