How Would You Feel About Bengals Taking an OT in Round 1

At CB, obviously the perceived lack of urgency in re-upping Dennard speaks rather loudly that either they don't think he's worth the type of money that he's looking for, or that they just plan on going a different direction. Signing McRae and Webb are nice depth signings, but I feel like they still need a starting slot/nickel CB.  Unless they surprise, and make a signing soon, that leaves the draft.  I can't see them going CB at the top, as OT is (in my opinion) the bigger need, so I would say (barring any unforeseen trades) a CB taken in the 2nd or even 3rd round.

I'll be honest I'm not that high on Dennard either at anything more than middle of the road money.

It's just really hard to say what will happen in the draft, there's always a surprise or two. Somebody takes a QB that nobody thought would, a guy most had late 1st or top of the 2nd goes at 9 or something ?

If one of the top OT's is there at 11 I'm fine with it. If one of the top LBers is there I'm fine with that as well. Both are big needs !
