Starting with five picks, going to six picks, and ending up with three picks, the Bengals had an unusual amount of opportunity to work with in the sixth round of this year’s NFL Draft. With their first two picks in the round, they addressed their third running back opening with Texas A&M’s Trayveon Williams and the backup MIKE linebacker spot with Auburn’s Deshaun Davis. Two solid players to fill two notable needs.
Many didn’t expect a second running back to be taken by Cincinnati in the draft. Many didn’t expect Rodney Anderson to be available at the 211th overall selection either.
