To the "trade down" crowd

So it is fine to suggest the Bengals should trade down, but if they don't you really can't criticize them for not doing it because it may not have been possible.

At the TOP in 2 are 2 Safeties, 2 Running Backs and a WR in the Kiper Top 5.   You can bet Kiper is close on that.   

If some team wants to trade up a few spaces to get one of them, fine.   Mind you, I'm talking from 33 to 34, 35 or 36.  

We don't have a huge need at these positions.  If we can add an extra pick, move down a few spots,  and take SAM LB Baun,  we make out like bandits. 

If as you say, no trade is offered,  Take SAM LB Baun at 33 passing over Mel Kiper Top 5.  We need LB more.
