This is where I am holding onto a little bit of hope as well. Ced was a first rounder with a ton of talent coming out of college. Lots of teams were high on him and if not for his injury, he's probably not there for the Bengals to draft. Bodine was a later pick, while it is possible for those guys to become Pro-Bowlers (see Geno Atkins) the ceiling for a 4th rounder usually isn't as high as a first rounder in terms of raw talent.

Bodine can develop into a solid and steady player and that would be great. Ced has the raw talent to be a Pro-Bowler, he just has to translate that skill to the pro game.
