If these OL are on the board at 31! Who you Got

If all three are there at 31 and you're not comfortable with Carman, what are the odds one falls to 63?

I would pass on Linderbaum at #31 because with the signing of Karras it gives them more leeway. 

At #63 options like Sean Rhyan, Tyler Smith, Dylan Parham, Jamaree Salyer, Nicholas Petite-Frere, Abraham Lucas.
At #95 options like Rasheed Walker, Ed Ingram, Darian Kinnard, Cole Strange, Luke Fortner, Luke Goedeke... and so forth. 

This is a Deep IOL draft class with talented guys like Cam Jurgens, Vederian Lowe, Dohnovan West.

Not all of these guys are day one starters but are talented and can come in to compete with Jackson Carman and D'Ante Smith for that Left Guard spot.

I just got done with the WR group which pretty much finishes me for the year. Ive watched a little over 140 prospects and have come to the conclusion that the value of this draft class is in rounds 2-4. I'm hoping the Bengals can find a trade back and secure a third day 2 pick.
