DE, DT, and even LB is very thin at the top. There is a really good WR, OT, G, and TE class this year, and that is where the value would lie in the later rounds.
I agree but responding to this and the other posts...If you fix the OL in FA and use later picks to develop OL (if Sewell is not there) then it leaves you wide open for pick 5 (BPA or trade). I do not want to see both OTs and our QB come into contract years back to back to back, which we will have if we draft a top tier OT this year. That will be a nightmare and you know what the Bengals will do, drop one of the OTs and have another exposure on the line.
We have a ton wrapped up in FA defense if we resign one of Lawson or WJ3 and Alexander and probably another LBer. With Reader and Waynes added last year already. I think the OL needs fixed in FA and open the draft, that is all. If you can upgrade the IOL and get a Leatherwood or one of the ND tackles in 2 then the offense should be in good shape, an improved running game and time for Burrow to throw.
