Bengals Don't Need To Trade Up and Why

but there are better defensive players.  I'll take Mike Golic's word on that because he was a good defensive player and knows defense.  If he says this is the strongest defensive draft in years, it is probably true. Now next year may be a strong offensive draft in 2018.  The defense is on the boards and Bengals have every chance to come away with a Super Bowl Defense.   If we take Davis or Mixon at 9, we really don't understand the draft.  I can only see Mixon if we trade way back, but why do that when a top DE or DT or LB may be sitting there at pick 9. ...If Browns start this thing taking a QB, that right there turns our pick 9 into pick 8. If another team takes a QB, our 9 becomes a 7. I hope many offensive players go early so we can dip into the top 5 that are defensive players. No way we get Myles Garrett at 9, but if teams go offense, we could get a defensive player we never dreamed of getting at 9. Imagine a top DE or DT better than most drafts added to Atkins and Dunlap.
