ProFootballTalk.com —
For the last few years, wide receiver has been one of the Cincinnati Bengals’ strengths. But with Chris Henry getting cut and Chad Johnson and T.J.

It would seem that the Bengals, if they are targeting a wide receiving during the first day, that they'll go after Kelly in the first round. If he's gone, then Hardy in the second round. However, as a result of keeping their depth, the Bengals signed Doug Gabriel to a one-year deal on Tuesday. ...
