IF, the Bengals go OT at the end of the 1st round, I sincerely hope that it's Darnell Wright.

You don't gotta sell me on Darnell Wright over DaWand Jones lol.
I agree that if you can get a guy who isn't limited to a particular style/scheme, that is a good thing, but I can understand if Pollack may want someone due to what he wants to run.

Also, put me in the camp of not necessarily wanting a 1st round OT. I want Carman to have a chance first.
I like Warren McClendon Jr. as a Rd 3-4 RT who could arguably start immediately and has a championship pedigree already.
