Yeah, from Hobson:
"In 2009, before Kyle Cook emerged, the Bengals were looking for a center and Max Unger out of Oregon was there in the second round. But USC linebacker Rey Maualuga was clearly the highest-rated player on the board and they stuck to the grade."
Basically, even though Unger addressed an immediate need, they stuck to their board and took the falling Maualuga instead.
