CINCINNATI (AP) The Bengals finally got around to their defense, but not in the area they most needed to address.
Cincinnati used its second pick of the third round (99th overall) to pick Texas Christian inside linebacker Paul Dawson, who led the Horned Frogs with 136 tackles, including 20 for losses, in 2014. He also had four interceptions.
The 6-foot, 235-pound Dawson was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Big 12.
