You can pick one of the following three options: A. I either natually look like this B. I just smelled something terrible or C. I just got done watching the NFL Combine FOR YOU! Well the answer is C. That's right, I risked life and limb just so I could report back to you about who looked good and who looked not so good when it comes to the positions that the Bengals may be interested in drafting high. You owe me. I take payment in cash, food and ladie's phone numbers. Here's what I saw:
Wide Receivers:
It is widely thought that the Bengals are in desperate need of a deep threat receiver who can stretch the field and give Chad and Carson more room to work. The fastest of the receivers was Clemson's Ford Jacoby who ran an astonishing 4.28 40. If you're not sure what a 4.28 40 means, it means that Jacoby is very Chris Johnsonish. If you don't know who Chris Johnson is, go back to where you were before you stumbled upon this site. While a 4.28 40 is very impressive, it isn't everything... see Under Argo vs. The Signing of Darius Heyward-Bey. Jacoby would have to prove that he can run routes and, you know, catch a ball and not just run really fast in a straight line if he wants to be worthy of a first round pick....... AL DAVIS!!!
Other top performing wide receivers were Golden Tate from Notre Dame, Arrelious Benn from Illinois and Mardy Gilyard from Cincinnti.
While some see a wide receiver drafted in the first round, others look in their crystal ball and see the Bengals drafting a tight end. While I tend to agree with the wide receiver argument, the tight end argument has some legs. After all, players at the tight end position really showcased their ability to block well, catch every ball thrown to them and when they caught the ball, they certainly didn't fumble it. So..... wait, what?....... oh...... they did the exact opposite of that? Oh. Man, I really need to stop drinking so heavily before the games. Anyway, I guess our tight ends sucked last year and even though veteran and locker room leader Reggie Kelly could make a come back this year, it's unsure if he'll ever be the same after rupturing his achilles. Besides, he was never really a pass catching threat anyway and who the hell knows what's going to happen to Chase Coffman. At one point in the season, I thought he was dead. The top tight end was Dorin Dickerson from Pitt. He ran a 4.40 and put up some impressive numbers throughout the other drills including bench press where he lifted a baby elephant 24 times. However, like Ford Jacoby, the combine only says so much. Players would need to prove that they can do everything on the field, no just run fast and lift up large zoo babies.

Weeee!
This is where an extensive scouting department comes in handy........ shit.
Other top tight ends were Jermaine Gresham from Oklahoma, Jimmy Graham from Miami (FL) and Clay Harbor from Missouri State.
Who really knows what's going to happen. I sure as hell don't and I'd be willing to bet that the Bengals front office isn't really sure quite yet either.
