However, I just get the feeling that as much as we all think the Bengals should draft a Defensive Tackle early (Malcolm Brown last year) it just doesn't seem like it is going to happen in the first round. Peko was a 4th rounder, Atkins was a 4th rounder, Thompson was a 3rd rounder, and last year Hardison was a 4th rounder. I could see us taking Defensive Tackle in the 3rd or 4th but I just don't think Marvin and co. value that position as much as we here on the boards would like to think they would.

I agree with you.   I think we'll take a CB and either a WR or a LB in the first 2 rounds.  I don't see them going DT until the third.  Their reasoning is that we'll get a good one in the 3rd round.  I think we could maybe - if someone like Hargrove is there.   But the pickings will be slim by that point.  The last chance to get really good DT will be the 2nd round - and that 's no guarantee.

I'm not sure that Marvin doesn't value the position.  I think he sees bigger needs first (WR/ CB) and the WR spot particularly is thin this year.

We'll see
