At 9th Overall, Bengals Take LB Keith Rivers

This is a good pick. Although the Bengals were going to take a D-line player, they were smart in not reaching for one like Jacksonville. They also had needs in their LB group, especially considering that they're transferring to a 3-4, and Rivers is a solid pick here. He should immediately start in the middle, possibly with Odell Thurman, to provide a solid LB group for years to come.
