The Bengals reached a little bit in the 2nd round to draft WR Jerome Simpson who was projected by draft experts to go in the 4th or 5th round.  But, the Bengals needed someone to replace Chris Henry (released) as the #3 WR.  Simpson is 6′1″, 193 pounds and he only runs a 4.6 40.  Simpson will likely have to be a possession receiver for the Bengals plus he didn’t play against top competition in college.  Simpson played in 45 games (38 starts) at Coastal Carolina and he caught 161 passes for 2,720 yards (16.9 avg) with 44 TD grabs.  Better receivers appeared to be still on the board when the Bengals drafted Simpson.
