With the 84th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Jordan Shipley, wide receiver out of Texas. Cincinnati figured to draft a wide receiver at some point during the draft to increase the competition as the team's third wide receiver. If not for Dez Bryant, the Bengals were going to draft someone. Here's the scouting report and a few videos.

Mardy Gilyard was still available right?

It’s not that I think it’s a bad pick, but he wasn’t the first guy on my draft board.
now that I think of it none of our picks were first on my board

You guys got a hell of a player.

He may not have played college in Cinci, but other than that he’s a fine prospect.

You will always be able to count on Jordan to catch the ball. Not a bad thing for a wide reciever.

I hate this pick

There are so many better athletes available right now. He will be a journeyman yes, but not a game changer w very little upside. Could not be any worse than L Coles though or the other knuckleheads on the roster.

If we could draft a muzzle in the 4th for Chad OchoStinco, that would have been a better pick than this scrub.
