Nicholas Pitakos:
"My guy Bradley Roby from THE Ohio State University will be staying close to his college town as the Cincinnati Bengals take him in the first round. The Bengals have a huge need at cornerback with such an unstable lineup at the position now. Adding a speedy back like Roby could help solidify their lineup and hopefully give them someone who is dependable (unlike Dre Kirkpatrick). Roby is an OSU product with a lot of speed who can cover a receiver by himself, which is something the Bengals need to sure up that defensive secondary."
