In descending order:  

DE
OT
DE
DE, G (they had two)

And they got there QB in FA.  Why shouldn't the Bengals go with a proven starter like Newton who might need a change of scenery and draft Young with #1 overall?  I think that has a much higher success potential than sticking with our lousy defense and putting a young QB without crazy mobility behind that line.

They drafted all that and weren't successful until they went after their QB.

Texans were in the same boat 3 first round pass rushers and weren't successful until they went after their QB.

Franchise QBs are the hardest to find position in football. If you have a chance to get one you do it no matter what...Quarterback I'd thr most important position on the field.

Joe Burrow has the makings of one doing unprecedented things by a QB in the toughest conference in College Football. I can't wait to see him against Georgia in a couple weeks and then against Clemson or Ohio State (high possibility of Utah's top 3 defense too). If he can keep his team who aren't nearly as good as Clemson or OSU competitive it will make the decision alot easier.
