I think they might be able to wait for one to drop in the 2nd, but I'd hate to miss out on one of Booth, Elam, Gardner, or McCreary.
I think Derion Kendrick is a good talent in Rd 2, but he has a red flag due to his off-field arrest earlier this year for drug and gun charges and subsequently dismissed from Clemson. Bengals of old may still take the chance on him, but I'm not sure the new Bengals would.

My preference for this draft in Rd 1:
- Tyler Linderbaum (assuming they don't get a C in FA)
- One of the blue chip prospects other than Linderbaum if they fall (Neal, Thibodeaux, Hutchinson, Stingley, Hamilton)
- CB otherwise (especially if they get a C in FA)

He's one guy I've read about and watched play on TV. Depending on how the season finishes for the Bengals, he might not be available when Duke picks. That's why my inclination is to say we get a CB in round 1. There are enough good ones that a talented player is bound to be there for picking.
