Solidfy the dline for the next several years with whoever we believe is the best DT in the draft--adding a major contributer to our defense for the coming years.

The depth along the oline is much better than DT, so we can target specific players in the mid rounds to upgrade at IOL and OT.
Plenty of good WRs in the mid rounds as well.

The draft is deep on offensive lineman (and WR, not so much DT).

The Bengal's biggest weakness last year was defense--not getting pressure, not containing the run, poor coverage in the secondary.

If the Bengals can get a lockdown corner or an A+ DT prospect with the top pick I would pick that over the 4th/5th highest rated OT in the draft, who needs coaching to be a good nfl starter.
There are a lot of other OT prospects with similar scouting reports that can be had in the 3rd round.

I really don't want to see the Bengals reach for a need, because that is where they have gotten in trouble in the past and it's lead to players like Billy Price and Ooogiee booogie being drafted. 

If they think Lathom or Mims are the next big thing at tackle I'm all for it. But he better pan out. 


I want them to draft the best player period.

I don't want them to draft an average OT over an all pro DT or corner or even Edge.
