I give credit to Bell and possibly Hubbard for keeping Apple on the rails because of their history together at OSU. But he's a ticking timebomb that could make it bad for the locker room if a few injuries happen.

I see this draft being one where two, maybe 3 CBs get picked. Need to start getting some younger guys in there for 2 years from now. 

I think two CBs is the most Bengals can afford to spend in the draft unless they trade back.
They don't have an abundance of picks and a lot of other positions to worry about too.

Anarumo seems to favor FA for his defense, so we'll see how FA goes.
