Devin White would be very tempting to take and other teams will probably make the decision at #11 easy for the Bengals in regards to White because he will likely be long gone before pick #11.
I keep coming back to wanting a Long Term decade plus Left Tackle at pick #11 if one is there. Andre Dillard was garnering praise as the top pass blocking Left Tackle from former NFL GM Charlie Casserly and Casserly had him going 9th overall in his latest mock. Casserly also praised Greg Little as a possible long term left tackle option for the Eagles at pick #22. Casserly said that Little could be a solid long term replacement for 37 year old Jason Peters once Peters great career winds down.
If a Legit long term left tackle option presents itself at pick #11 or say in a trade down to around pick #20 for one then that may be an excellent move to make.
Setting a foundation piece at Left Tackle immediately in round 1 would corner the left tackle market, allow Cordy Glenn to ultimately move to right tackle down the road & replacing a right tackle later in future drafts would be much easier to do since solid left tackles are a little harder to come by.
