NFL Draft Predictions: Cornerback For The Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals are often connected to cornerbacks in the 2012 NFL draft which is why it's no surprise that SB Nation's Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, predicts the Bengals to select either Stephon Gilmore out of South Carolina or Dre Kirkpatrick out of Alabama.

SB Nation’s Cincy Jungle writes:

Generally speaking we're looking at either at Stephon Gilmore out of South Carolina or Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick for cornerback and David DeCastro at guard - if he's not there then possibly Cordy Glenn.

The Bengals have two first round picks so this is a very realistic look at what they could at No. 17 and 21. They could even more up, or down, in the draft.
