2) I don't consider a LB with a 3rd round comp pick being that early. And I don't know where you think Vigil is some great player already, as he's not (yet).
3) That's your opinion, but I don't see the Bengals going DE in Round 1 with Dunlap still on the team. Yes, he's entering a contract year next year, but there should be plenty of cap room to extend him, especially if certain cuts are made to declining veterans. The Bengals also invested a 3rd and 4th round pick in Willis and Lawson. Last, the Bengals haven't gone first round DL since Justin Smith 16 years ago. Just my opinion, but the likelihood of Bengals going DL in the first round is extremely low.
2.) Virgil is a 3 down player and has been a good player for us. There is no need to draft a guy who would play just 30%or 40% of the time.
3.) Dunlap Will be 29 and entering his final year of his contract. It is time for the Bengals to draft a DE in the First. Offensive lineman are not that easy to find and take a while to develop. The Bengals should fill that need in free agency or via trade the. Through the draft.
