Those 2 things helped us rebound the following season at least. I was going to mention the 2008 draft as a positive, but I just looked it up and it was possibly the worst draft under Lewis/Tobin.

1. Keith Rivers
2. Jerome Simpson
3. Phat Sims
3. Andre Caldwell
4. Anthony Collins
5. Jason (don't call me) Shirley
6. Corey Lynch
6. Matt Sherry
7. Angelo Craig
7. Mario Urrutia (another WR named Mario who is probably a plumber now)

That draft for the NFL in general wasn't that strong, IMO.  Looking at it overall, despite a limited production for the Bengals, I'd say we still did well in comparison to the league in that the first 5 picks each played at least 7 years in the NFL.
