The Bengals got great value in drafting DE Carlos Dunlap out of Florida with the 54th overall pick (2nd round) of the NFL Draft.  Many experts projected Dunlap to be picked in the first round of the NFL Draft.  Dunlap is a big guy at 6’6″, 275 pounds and he’s fast running a 4.7 40.  He lived in the opposing backfield at Florida and he gets his arms up to block passes.  He played in 13 games (all starts) for the Gators last season and he made 38 tackles, had 10.5 tackles for a loss, he had 9 sacks and he batted down 6 passes.  Dunlap played in 39 games (15 starts) in his three years at Florida and he had 75 tackles, 26 tackles for a loss, 19.5 sacks, batted down 8 passes and he forced 2 fumbles.  Dunlap is also solid against the running game due to his size.  I like this pick a lot for the Bengals as Dunlap has a nice upside.
