What was your most memorable draft day for the Bengals.
Drafting Big Daddy in '94 was huge, but it was not as surprising as when we traded up to take Ki-Jana Carter.
Wilkenson is by far the most hyped player we have ever drafted. He was a very good player for us (we got a 1st and a 3rd round pick when we traded him to the Redskins), but he never lived up to the hype and pissed off a lot of Bengal fans with his comments about the city.
Ki-Jana was one of the best college RBs I have ever seen. He averaged 7.8 yards per carry his senior year at Penn State and scored 23 tds. For his career he rushed for 2829 yards and a 7.2 avg. I was pumped to hear that we traded up to get him. The Bengals won 7,8,and 7 games from '95 through '97. We had a top ten scoring offense in both '96 and '97 with Blake and Pickens. If Carter had stayed healthy we could have contended for the playoffs.
Also remember when we drafted Archie Griffin in the first round. I was a huge OSU fan back then and was certain he would be a big star in the NFL.
