I would pass on the QBs to improve the areas we really need to improve upon.  Mainly OLine.

I know that we failed in the past to hit on the OLine with Og, Fisher and Price all failing us badly.  However we don't know if Williams is a stud or not and if he isn't then that would make the QB pick a wasted one.  

I don't want Chase Young, but I would take Thomas in a heartbeat.  Bring in Thomas as insurance if Williams blows or if Williams pans out and Thomas is what he looks like at Georgia then you now have RT and LT fixed as both can play either side.

He has us taking Defense 1 and 2.  I would do him better and go OLine, not just 1 and 2, but 1,2 and 3.  If Kindley is there at 2 then run up and grab him, if he isn't then Ben Bredeson would be a great pick up.  Follow that up by grabbing Tyler Biadasz in the 3rd. 

We are that bad at OLine, so invest as many picks as you can to build it up as much as you can. 

Williams, Kindley (or Bredeson), Biadasz, Hopkins, Thomas

With luck and good coaching that should be a top OLine unit and good for many years. 

I know they say Offense wins games, but defense wins Championships.  However it looks to be faulty as any good to great offense can usually beat good to great defenses and any time you can score at will you have a chance to win the game.

Just so you don't think I am completely neglecting the defense, I think Joe Bachie would be a steal in the 4th round and Jabari Zuniga seems to be the do it all LBer (though he has missed games due to injury) or Josh Uche.

I know how tempting it is to get a guy like Burrows (I like Jacob Eason myself), but I see the bigger needs and QB just doesn't seem to be it.  Of course we botched it with Dalton and now have to roll with Finley or draft one which sucks.

Og and Fisher were busts, but way more than not, top 10 Ts pan out pretty well. Neither of them were top 10 talent, but more on that later.

If those assholes down at the stadium at least had a plan; draft for O, FA for D, then at least it's a plan i could somewhat get on board with (providing they spend the damn money in FA) but i don't have a shred of hope that they can do this. They will just use all their alloted draft slots like they always do and try to do 50/50 between offense and defense. 

Re: Oline. In 2015, between Og and Fisher, D.J. Humphries and Donovan Smith were picked and they've been average+, which just highlights how bad the Bengals are in evaluation.
