I know no one thought this would happen.
Everyone was under the impression that the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t afford another bad character guy, but Fresno State DT Jason Shirley was to phyically dominating that the team had to take a risk.
Shirley is one of the biggest DTs in this draft at 6-foot-5 338 pounds and he uses that size to dominate offensive linemen.
In 2007, Shirley was suspended three times.
This pick is obviously a risk, but has the opportunity to have a huge reward.
Overall, since this pick is risky, hopefully the Bengals have another DT they might target with their last four picks (two sixth rounders and two seventh rounders).
