So who do you think we'll take in round 1?

1. I don't see us going Tackle, as it doesn't seem likely they'll give up on Ogbuehi this soon, and top 10 is usually too early to look at RT. 
2. I don't see RB as likely, especially another one from LSU
3. Both Walter and Charlie mock Derek Barnett to us at 8, but Barnett is much shorter (word is he's 6'2") and smaller than a typical Bengals DE.
4. Top 10 seems high for a backer, but I guess this wouldn't completely stun me.
5. As much as we kid about CBs, I don't see it happening yet again.

Anybody jump out to you guys as an obvious pick if we're top 10?

1. Agreed, unless we can't re-sign Whit and want to take a LT. So far there might be one OT that could go in the top 10.
2. Agreed. We don't need a RB with ankle problems.
3. If there's a top pass rusher there at 9, I hope we take him.
4. We seem to play a nickle with two LBs about half the time, so a second top flight LB who can play all 3 downs would be a nice addition.
5. Agreed. Even if Jackson were healthy in 2016, he would have only seen limited action. I don't see us taking a corner in the 1st and if we re-sgin Kirkpatrick, we may not take a corner in any round.

What I really would like to see us do is take a guy who's going to play year one and have an impact. AJ Green had an impact. Eifert took a bit to work his way in. Dennard and Kirkpatrick took years. Zeitler worked right into the line up, but it took him a few years to become one of the better guards.

So I want a year one impact guy. Not sure what position that will be cause so much is going to happen between now that the draft.

Maybe, by the time draft day comes and we are on the clock, the top pass rushers are gone and so it a LT and the team could be sitting there feeling that Hooker is the guy who can have the most immediate impact. Or maybe WR Mike Williams really woes everyone at the combine but due to overdrafting of QBs, he gets pushed down to us and he's too good to pass up. Just no way of telling at this point.
