Cincinnati Bengals and the Draft

Saturday marks Round 1 of the NFL draft and the Cincinnati Bengals hold the 6th pick in the first round. Who do they select? Most of the "experts" seem to think it will be between Virginia offensive tackle Eugene Monroe and Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith. If both are available, who do the Bengals opt for? Monroe is the better pass blocker, and we all know Carson Palmer needs the protection. Smith is the better run blocker and the Bengals have always been best when they run the ball well.

The wild-card could be Wake Forest LB Aaron Curry, if he falls to the 6th spot, he'd be hard to pass up. If Curry is there, do the Bengals take him and hope they get a quality tackle in round 2? I guess only Mike and Marvin know for sure.

Of course they could always trade down and add the the 11 picks they have in this seasons draft. Only time will tell. Come tomorrow about 2:00pm EDT, we will have our answer.
