What I do know about the draft is that whatever people's current views of the players are, they'll have different views come draft time. Some will have improved stock and others will fall. There's also a good chance that over drafted QBs will push down some better players and this could work to our advantage sitting there in the 9 spot.

As problematic as RT has been this year, I just don't see the Bengals giving up on both a 1st and 2nd round pick this soon.  Most likely, they will bring in a veteran FA for depth and to compete for that spot.  Andre Smith may be an option.  He knows the guys and the system and should be relatively cheap.  He's had his ups and downs here, but at his worst, he was at least a serviceable starter.

This is a poor T class.  Cam Robinson isn't one of the 10 best players, but LT is a position teams reach for, so he could easily be gone by our pick, although he may be better suited to play RT.  Unless you're going to reach and roll the dice on Ryan Ramcyk, I just don't know that there will be a reasonable OL selection in the 1st.
