This is for the first 9 players you would like to see in stripes based on skill, position, need, etc, not a big board of all consensus top 9 players. I'll start...

1 Myles Garrett DE
2 Cam Robinson OT
3 John Allen DE
4 mike Williams WR
5 Derek Barnett DE
6 Rueben Foster LB
7 Malik Hooker S
8 Leonard Fournette RB
9 Zach Cunningham LB

If we pick one of these guys I will be very happy after round one

It's early, but I will definitely play along.  I like your list, but I have moved up some players and moved down some others on my big board.  I currently have only ranked a top 50 players, but the list is very fluid as I do background checks, talk to coaches, teammates, etc.  I will list only my top 9 players for the Bengals (No QBs)

Yes, I take this stuff very serious and I do send my stuff to the Bengals each year.  Don't laugh, I have a list compiled of guys I recommended that they ended up drafting with some pretty impressive names.  The first three rounds anyone can do by just reading a magazine or two, but some of my gems included Geno Atkins and TJ Houshmanzadeh.  Last year, I had Cody Core and Fej on my list for them.  

Here is my top 9:

Myles Garrett, DE
Jonathon Allen, DE
Dalvin Cook, RB
Derek Barnett, DE
Malik Hooker, S
Desmond King, CB
Tim Williams, DE
Charles Harris, DE
Cam Robinson, OT

With as many as three QBs going in the top 10, overvalued WRs that dominated college competition but will struggle to get separation against NFL DBs, and the natural emphasis on the offensive line, I could see a good number of these guys available at #9, but more importantly, available around #17 where I could see the Bengals sliding and picking up an extra pick or two.  

Again, I will place the condition on this list that Whitworth is re-signed, along with Dre Kirkpatrick.  The only CB I would take even if Dre were signed in Rd 1 is Desmond King.  I want nothing to do with Teez Tabor in the first round.  Too much risk.  I want top notch guys with the club-option fifth year.
