A lot of "experts" still say we should've taken Sewell over Chase. Even after Chase having the season that he did. My point is, the Bengals have proven once to think sexy over smart (to clear the air here, I was team Chase and I stand by that today. I'm just playing devil's advocate for arguments sake). Meaning, what's more important right now? Solidifying your OL and protecting Joey Franchise? OR, go after CB/DE which proved to be pretty good last year with most of that core returning? The biggest loss was Ogunjobi. Which is a loss. 

I think it's a toss up, but if Zion or Linderbaum are there, I feel like you have to take one of them. If Booth is there too, I wouldn't be upset if he was the pick. As long as we don't reach for a Travis Jones or Logan Hall, I won't be pissed. 

Travis Jones is a beast, but I hope they aren't considering him before a 2nd round selection (and a late one at that) as he is most likely a NT and we already have Reader, Tupou, and Shelvin as big DTs but no depth at 3T.  That isn't Jones's position.  He could be a value grab to develop BEHIND Reader, but I wouldn't do that in Round 1 with other guys likely to be there that are of greater talent at positions where we don't  have near that depth...and at so-called "premium positions" (CB, WR, OT).  

I know that is what you are saying.  I am just agreeing with you.
