Who would you pick as the Bengals first Rounder?

Well, you have to remember that teams can (and will) fall in love with a certain prospect and then start to have delusions that another team is going to pick him.

I would bet that there are a few teams that think that they HAVE to get in front of Cincy if they want Foster or a DE because that is what the common thinking is.

I can also bet that there are a few teams that feel that they need to get in front of Cleveland at #12 to get a QB that they really want.

I could see a team trying to jump in front of Buffalo to get a CB, WR or QB.
