Recap: Bengals Day 2

27. April 2009  - Published by Dan Clasgens

Nine of the Bengals 11 draft picks came on Day 2...

Round: 3a (No. 70 overall)
Player: Michael Johnson

College: Georgia Tech
Position: DE
Height: 6-7
Weight: 266
Comment (from FootballsFuture.com): He was a full time starter for the first time as a senior, and had a very productive season. Johnson finished the year with 43 tackles, 15 for loss, seven sacks, a pick, and even broke up seven passes. Johnson is a potential game changer off the edge. He is a phenomenal athlete, with excellent quickness and agility, along with the speed to close and finish plays

Round: 3b (No. 98 overall)
Player: Chase Coffman

College: Missouri
Position: TE
Height: 6-6
Weight: 244
Comment (from FootballsFuture.com): Coffman is a very difficult match up for opposing teams. He has a long, lean frame and knows how to get open. He can find the soft spot in a zone and set up for his QB or go up in one on one situations and pull down the ball over the defender.

Round: 4 (No. 106 overall)
Player: Jonathan Luigs

College: Arkansas
Position: C
Height: 6-4
Weight: 301
Comment (from FootballsFuture.com): Luigs is a physical lineman that is always looking to put a body on a defender. He battles on every snap and will not be outworked on the field.

Player: Kevin Huber
College: Cincinnati
Position: P
Height: 6-1
Weight: 221
Comment: The former Bearcat and McNicholas star stays home after an impressive college career with UC. He should enter 2009 as the front-runner for the job with the team investing such a high pick on him. It is the highest the team has selected a kicker or punter since the infamous 4th round selection of Travis Dorsch earlier in the decade.

Round: 6a (No. 179 overall)
Player: Morgan Trent

College: Michigan
Position: CB
Height: 6-1
Weight: 193
Comment: The former Wolverine has the ability to play physical at the line, but will need to prove useful on speical teams to make impact on this roster. He was originally recruited at Michigan as a receiver, so he does have some versatility and athletic ability that will both help his cause.

Round: 6b (No. 209 overall)
Player: Bernard Scott

College: Abilene Christian
Position: RB
Height: 5-10
Weight: 200
Comment: He fits the team's perception as a trouble maker after numerous run-ins with the police and being kicked off both his high school and college teams. He enters the league at 25 after missing much of the last three seasons with off-the-field issues.

Round: 7a (No. 215 overall)
Player: Fui Vakapuna

College: Brigham Young
Position: FB
Height: 5-11
Weight: 244
Comment: He is a nice value pick here and provides the Bengals with some much-needed depth at the position.

Round: 7b (No. 249 overall)
Player: Clinton McDonald

College: Memphis
Position: DT
Height: 6-2
Weight: 283
Comment: An ankle injury cost him a good chunk of his senior season and allowed him to fall to this spot in the draft.

Round: 7c (No. 252 overall)
Player: Freddie Brown

College: Utah
Position: WR
Height: 6-3
Weight: 215
Comment: Gave everybody a glimpse of what he could do in last year's big Sugar Bowl performance and finsihed '08 with 77 catches for 900 yards.
