The Cincinnati Bengals will be selecting No. 1 overall during tonight’s NFL Draft. While the Cincinnati Reds have never been granted the first-overall pick, they have selected in the No. 2 slot on several occasions. Let’s look back at the three Reds who were selected with the second-overall pick in the MLB Draft.
The first-year player draft is Major League Baseball’s yearly event in which high school seniors and eligible college players are selected by teams to begin their professional careers. The first amateur draft was held in 1965. That year, the Reds selected Bernie Carbo with the 16th overall pick.
