Bengals are determined to get a major impact player at pick # 9. I think we can rule out guard since Mike Brown says they don't win many games and that nonsense would apply to center. If not RB then DE is a top pick position as is WR and QB and DT if the DT is a real monster or LB. They pick in the Top Ten, and they intend to come away with a player and position worthy of Top Ten, a real game changer.....ALSO, the Bengals may be looking to who they can't afford to resign and will lose in 2018 free agency. Whoever that may be. Bengals often draft ahead to replace veterans they see leaving. Maualuga, Burfict and Minter are all free agents next March as is Hill and Eifert. If they don't get the LSU RB, it would be their pattern to fill this LB void coming up, and that could be Foster...OH, Maualuga cut yesterday. LB becomes a draft need even more.
I've seen multiple sites/sources saying the jets also like Fournette a lot....help out the struggling QB, whomever that is....also have seen where if Fournette would slip to the Panthers at 8 & Barnette was also still on the board,{would probably only happen if one or more QB's were picked in the top 7 which is unlikely}, then the Panthers would be split....as they really like both Fournette & Barnette...but they can only draft one of them so the other one would be there for us....if we did get Fournette i'd be thrilled....but it would be bittersweet b/c we still have a giant hole at DE....so i'd probably prefer Barnette or Taco....but it's a tough call....Fournette looks very, very strong, fast....another A. Peterson type ....might even be the best RB to ever play for this team....?
