That draft had a chance to be epic, as the Bengals had three first rounders.  Blados was the last of the three.  LB Ricky Hunley never signed and was dealt to Denver, and DE Pete Koch did basically nothing.  Don't remember if it was performance or injury related though.

Hey Pete Koch played in Heartbreak Ridge. That's something.
