The Bengals have selected CB Brandon Ghee with the 96th overall pick (3rd round) out of Wake Forest.  Ghee is 5’11″, 189 pounds but he is lightning fast running a 4.4 40.  Ghee is a outstanding special teams player and he will likely make his biggest mark on the Bengals next season there.  He will serve as a nickel back as long as Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph start the 2010 season healthy.  Ghee just needs to get a little bit tougher against the running game but that in something that could happen in practice before the season starts.  Ghee played in 11 games (all starts) at Wake Forest last season and he had 52 tackles, broke up 8 passes and he had 1 fumble recovery.  Ghee played in 35 games (33 starts) in his three years in college and he had 150 tackles, broke up 25 passes, he had 1 interception, forced 5 fumbles and he recovered 1 fumble.  The Bengals got themselves quality depth in the secondary and a special teams ace in Ghee so I like the pick.
