IF the Bengals reached, it's likely that Sample was viewed as a late-2nd or 3rd round value, and the Bengals saw him as a guy that fit what they're doing and didn't want to risk him not being there in the 3rd.
I see that as far more likely than "our scouts are buffoons and took a 6th round talent in the 2nd round".
I look at it like this. If we had waited till our 3rd, we wouldn't have gotten him and possibly miss out on Pratt. We got 2 players we wanted, I'm not sure what is the problem..
