#98 Cedric Gray - LB - North Carolina - 6'2" 235
Gray was the highest graded player on the board. Gray comes in the mold of a Pratt or Wilson. He is a hard nosed linebacker that excels in coverage. Gray is a very instinctive LB who displays an outstanding football IQ. He does not bring elite speed but certainly displays functional football speed for the position and in his ability to cover backs and TEs. There has been a drop off in ability when Pratt or Wilson are off the field and Gray is certainly a step in bridging that gap. Gray should be a welcome addition to the LB room and should see immediate snaps as a rookie on defense as well as providing special teams value with his skill set.
RD. 5 - 147th Selection

#147 Beaux Limmer - OL - Arkansas - 6'5" 307
The Bengals have been lacking any real quality depth at center since the arrival of Ted Karras and Limmer should resolve that. Limmer has drawn some comparisons in his game to Creed Humphrey. While not being on the same level as Humphrey he does show the same sort of football IQ and athleticism. As with most young linemen he will need to continue to grow in functional football strength and to refine technique issues. Limmer brings position versatility in having experience at guard as well as center.
RD. 5 - 174th Selection

#174 Kamel Hadden - CB - Tennessee - 6'1" 197
Hadden brings a good package of size, speed, length, and physicality to the CB position. He has displayed good ball skills and route awareness. Needs to refine his technique to keep from being beaten over the top but has the speed to play deep so this should be a correctable issue.
