The whole BPA thing is waaaaay overused. Nobody really takes it seriously, you need a position filled, you find the guy who can fill it. They needed a CB? They drafted Dre. They needed an OL? They drafted Cedric. They thought they might need another OL because who knows when Whit's play will decline? They drafted Fisher. They needed a RB? They drafted Gio/Hill.

Sure the picks were probably also of good value, but I doubt they were literally the best player available at the time. Otherwise the Bengals would end up with 7 Quarterbacks, 12 Defensive Tackles, 6 Punters, and 5 Kickers on their roster. All BPA means is... "We drafted this guy because we thought we might need him, so now we're going to say later he was the highest rated player on our board. We can say this every single time because you don't know what our board was."
