It will also depend on the type of player you're looking for. Garrett is your proto pass-rusher, while Allen plays the run and the pass well, but doesn't have that elite edge speed like Garrett.

I'm not doubting that Garrett is the real deal, I'm just questioning as to weather or not the Bengals have even a remote shot of getting him.  I also trust your opinion of Allen, 'Bama has such a collection of talent across their team that sometimes players appear better than they really are.

Let me tell you, as an OSU fan, I was paying special attention to Peppers all season long.  I was fearing the worst, when he came to Ohio Stadium, this past Saturday.  If it weren't for some careful game planning, on both sides of the ball, as well as Special Teams, I am convinced that he could have taken the game into his own hands.  He is the real deal, multi-talented, high spirited, football IQ is off the charts.  I see him as a Safety in the NFL, with heavy advantages on a 4-3 to look like the 3rd LB on Nickle sets. 

I would be thrilled if the Bengals took him as their 1st round selection, but I just can't see them using that 1st round pick on anything but the "premium" positions, those being LT, CB, DE, QB, WR.  All other positions they seem to rank as somehow "less valuable", and therefore not worthy of 1st round pick.
