The Cincinnati Bengals signed their first-round pick, offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi on Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not released.

Ogbuehi was selected 21st overall after a stellar career at Texas A&M where he was named First-Team All-SEC in 2014.

Although the Bengals boast one of the league's best offensive lines with two stalwart tackles in Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith, Ogbuehi was likely selected as their left tackle of the future with both Whitworth and Smith slated to become unrestricted free agents at the end of the 2015 season.

The 23-year-old tore his ACL during December's Liberty Bowl, his final collegiate game.

With Ogbuehi locked down, only six 2015 first-round picks remain unsigned.
