If Fournette is there at #9, the Bengals Take Him

The more QB's and RB's that go early the better for them. I think they truly know how this draft is loaded at the top with Defensive talent and they want one or two of those guys to fall to #9 that they truly have their eye on. They will probably also show interest in Mike Williams to drive up his demand.

Yep.

I think Foster, Williams, or one of the DE's would be nice picks. I'm not as sold on the DE's...but DE is a position that we won't go into free agency and sign a star at.

I think a guy like Foster, would look really nice behind Billings and Atkins.

I like Williams in that Green...while still young is like 29. WR's tend to start slowing down when they hit the other side of 30.

Fournette or Cook wouldn't be bad picks...I just don't think we have the offensive line for them. What I worry about with Fournette is he doesn't really make people miss. He relies on power and that may not work in the NFL.
