You can get a 5-8 sack guy in the second.  If I'm taking a DE at 9, he'd better be capable of more than situational pass rusher or I've been cheated.

I'm with you. Unfortunately, all of this is moot because the Bengals are not going to use a first-round pick nearly as much as the fans would prefer, so the stats from any first-round rookie will be disappointing.

If one of Garrett, Thomas, or Adams is there at 9, I'm taking whichever is still available with preference in the order I mentioned them.
I'd go Howard unless this team is planning to pay Eifert in the $9+ million a year range, which is what I think it will take to keep him. Hell, even if you keep Eifert, mold the offense to two-TE sets and roll out there with Green, Eifert, Boyd, and Howard. That'd be a great offense (theoretically).
I'd go John Ross otherwise as a legit speed option that would pair well with AJ Green on the outside and Boyd out of the slot. However, the Bengals don't typically take a player like Ross (at least early), so I'd be fine with Davis as a replacement for LaFell in 1-2 years.

If the Bengals go Fournette, they better adjust the offense around him. You don't take a RB at 9 if you're going to just use him in a RBBC and be the third option on the field behind Green and TE/WR2.

I think I actually like the 2nd-round DEs more than the remaining 1st-rounders after Garrett, Allen, and Thomas. So I wait on a DE too.
