It's been slow here on everyone's favorite Bengals fan blog. I think part of that is due to everyone's dissappointment in the season. And our annoyance with Traitor 85.

Oh yeah, and the No. 1 Fan recently became the No. 1 Father.

Anyway, here's the first post about the upcoming draft. Seeing as the Bengals have the ninth pick, I took a look at the past decade's (actually decade plus 1 year's) worth of Number 9 picks. As you can see, they run the gamut, with a likely Hall-of-Famer to guys I've never heard of.

2007--Miami Dolphins--Ted Ginn, Jr.--Wide receiver--Ohio State
2006--Detroit Lions--Ernie Sims--Linebacker--Florida State
2005--Washington Redskins--Carlos Rogers--Cornerback--Auburn
2004--Jacksonville Jaguars--Reggie Williams--Wide receiver--Washington
2003--Minnesota Vikings--Kevin Williams--Defensive Tackle--Oklahoma State
2002--Jacksonville Jaguars--John Henderson--Defensive Tackle--Tennessee
2001--Seattle Seahawks--Koren Robinson--Wide Receiver--North Carolina State
2000--Chicago Bears--Brian Urlacher--Linebacker--New Mexico
1999--Detroit Lions--Chris Claiborne--Linebacker--USC
1998--Jacksonville Jaguars--Fred Taylor--Running Back--Florida
