If Bengals Pick Late, Trade Down

Indeed.

What can also be appealing is a team wanting to trade up into the end of the 1st round to get that 5th year option.
If the Bengals get a really good offer like maybe a 3rd rounder (or 2023 2nd rounder) just to move back 5-10 spots into the early 2nd, it might be worth it.

It will be interesting to see what players are still available when Bengals pick.
I'd be ok trading back if there's not some stud DB, DT, or OL still there.

Some OL I'm staying put on:
- Linderbaum (C Iowa)
- Zion Johnson (OG BC)
- Charles Cross (OT Miss St)
- Trevor Penning (OT Northern Iowa)
- Nicholas Petit-Frere (OT Ohio St)

Some DBs I'm staying put on:
- Sauce Gardner (CB UC)
- Roger McCreary (CB Auburn)
- Kaiir Elam (CB Florida)
- Trent McDuffie (CB Washington)

Not sure if I'd care to stay put for many DL, but these are the guys I'd consider taking late 1st:
- DeMarvin Leal (DT Texas A&M)
- Travon Walker (DL Georgia) - Would consider using in a hybrid role of base DE and swing inside, or possibly bulk back up near 300 lb and make permanent DT again

There are some other DTs I like, but I think many should be available early-mid 2nd.
