If the Bengals can get an extra 3rd somehow they can significantly improve the D in this round while taking a premiere offensive talent in the 2nd, should any of the other defenders not be there at 33.

I agree with you.  I read somewhere else that the Bengals New DC does not think the backer position can hang with the new wave of QB.  So I now view the linebacker position as undervalued.  Similarly to the FB position.  The evolution of the NFL game is interesting.  SO I would not be surprised if the Bengals take their backer at #33 in Queen (not a big fan of Murray but some are) or Round 3 in Harrison or Dye.  My guess it would be Dye.  Then I would expect the Bengals to take two safeties. 

I could see Bengals going to TC with only 4 backers; and go with 3-2-6 alignments with 3 safeties and 3 CB.  The new CB players can play the rush well.  Or 4-1-6.  

Bengals need to trade Dalton for a 3rd or 4th to be able to get Chinn, Dugger, or Muse.  I really like Muse.
