2012 NFL Mock Draft: Cincinnati Bengals

Last year the Bengals were a team that was once again going no where fast. Carson Palmer played alright, along with veteran wideouts Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocino. Cedric Benson was once again the anchor on a team that pretty much had no consistent threat other than himself.

In the 2011 draft, the Bengals called Carson Palmer’s retirement bluff and quickly replaced him with Andy Dalton out of TCU. Chad Ochocinco was let go, along with Terrell Owens and AJ Green was drafted to replace them from day 1.

As I write this the Bengals are a strong 4-2 with their rookie QB and they just traded Carson Palmer to the Raiders for what could end up being TWO first round draft picks over the next two years.
