The Bengals see a first round grade on a player that's still there in the 2nd or 3rd round and think he's a steal instead of realizing he fell for a reason. He's not that good.

I think they do more of the opposite. Reaching for guys multiple rounds earlier than expected. Drew Sample, Jackson Carman, Zach Carter, Myles Murphy
