CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) – Ball-hawking Fresno State safety Derron Smith and high-scoring West Virginia wide receiver Mario Alford were the Bengals final two draft picks of 2015.
Smith, picked in the sixth round, was first-team All-Mountain West Conference each of the last three seasons and ended his career with 15 interceptions.
Cincinnati closed out the draft by choosing Alford with the 21st pick in the seventh round, the 238th overall selection. Alford led the Big 12 with 11 touchdown receptions while logging 65 catches for 945 yards.
The Bengals also picked troubled Southern California defensive back Josh Shaw with their first pick of the fourth round on Saturday.
Shaw was suspended by the Trojans for 10 games early in the 2014 season after he suffered ankle injuries by jumping from a second-story balcony while evading police. He then claimed he was hurt while trying to save a drowning nephew.
Cincinnati picked offensive tackles Cedric Ogbuehi (Texas A&M) and Jake Fisher (Oregon) with its first two picks before taking Rutgers tight end Tyler Kroft and Texas Christian inside linebacker Paul Dawson in the first three rounds on Thursday and Friday.
The Bengals also picked Arizona State defensive end Marcus Hardison and Auburn tight end C.J. Uzomah on Saturday.
