Dre Kirkpatrick

Dre Kirkpatrick was a highly touted prospect coming out of the University of Alabama. He was selected by the Bengals with the 17th pick in 2012, but has not lived up to first round expectations. With that being said, Kirkpatrick had one of his better season in 2016 and was able to tally 3 interceptions.

After watching Kirkpatrick two times a year, I think he would be a good fit. I think he has potential to be a very good cornerback in this league. Sometimes all it may take is a change of scenery.

He has experience playing on a physical team and he is from the same division. Acquiring a player from within the division could give the Ravens a bit of an advantage when they play the Bengals. It may not seem like a lot, but Kirkpatrick would know the tendencies of Andy Dalton and the Bengals offense.
