CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals focused on defense in the NFL draft, using their first three picks to get players they expect to be immediate contributors. The Super Bowl runner-up Bengals used five of their six picks in the draft to get defensive players. They came in seeking depth for the secondary and defensive line.
