This isn't necessarily how I would draft or who I would pick but more along the thinking that Bengals normally take. Although I would pretty happy with this draft.
Top 8 before our pick:
1. Browns-Myles Garrett
2. 49'ers- Soloman Thomas
3. Bears- Marshawn Lattimore
4. Jags- Leonard Fournett
5. Titans- Mike Williams
6. Jets- OJ Howard
7. Chargers- Malik Hooker
8. Panthers- Jamal Adams
9. Bengals- Jonathan Allen, DE/DT Alabama - Luck just so happens to fall on our side and we get a top 3 player in this class. I know he has reports on his shoulder being issues in the future, but if he can give us 10 years, which isn't crazy talk, then we get our money's worth. I watched a lot of this kid last year and him and Foster were all over Alabama's tape. Steal if he falls this far.
2nd. Raekwon McMillion, LB OSU- There were talks that he was slow footed and wasn't able to move all that well. He put those to rest at the combine. He isn't an absolute need but with Vontaze, Minter, Vigil and Rey being the only LB's on the roster that is capable of giving us much, LB needs to get some depth and McMillion can provide much more than that.
3rd. Sidney Jones, CB Wash- A 1st round talent that falls due to his rupturing his achilles last month. Theres reports that he could be back in about 4 months and even if he isn't, we have Pacman's replacement for next year and a top talent that we could at least get back next season as an added bonus.
4A. Isaac Asiata, OG Utah- A big nasty run mauling OG that we need on this line after loosing Zietler. Could compete or just learn this year.
4B. Jake Butt, TE Michigan- Reminds me of Jason Witten. Does a lot of things right but won't wow you in any certain thing. Blocks, runs decent routes, sits in holes to get open.
5th. Samaje Perine, RB Oklahoma- Big back that has good feet and hit the hole quickly. Would be a good depth move for our RB situation.
6A. KD Cannon, WR Baylor- Baylor WR's usually get a bad wrap because of the system they run. Cannon is a deep threat and won't be asked to do a ton this year but take the top off of the defense.
6B. Zane Gonzalez, K Arizona St- I don't think this will happen nor do I think he will last this long but if he is there, we take him. This is about where most have him slotted to get taken though.
7A. Josh Tupou, NT Colorado- With Peko moved on, we draft a big body for depth for the middle that helps develop into a bigger role.
7B. Joshua Dobbs, QB Tennessee- Project QB that is a smart kid with some talent that needs to be reigned in.
