I feel big changes on the way.

Guard Hernandez, a CB, or one of the LB or Safety prospects in the 1st. One of those higher graded players will fall. to #21

Orlando Brown Jr. in the 2nd (he could absolutely be there). Brown translates to Left or Right Tackle according to his NFL.com draft profile. He's so Andre Smith it isn't funny. If he falls it screams Bengals!

I would be perfectly fine with this. Here's why...

The Bengals have youth and invested draft picks in skill positions already.

WR: Ross, Malone, Core, Boyd. All with 3 years or less experience.
DT: Billings, Glasgow, . Both young. I could see adding a DT, but they just signed one in Baker.
CB: WJ3, DreKirk, Denard, Shaw. All young.
LB: They LOVE Evans, Vigil is also well liked, and Burfict. They need some help here for sure, but I think the Bengals like their LBs. A first rounder could be huge, however. All young or in their prime. + Lawson as a specialist/hybrid
DE: Willis should be starting with Dunlap on the other side. They definitely need rotational DE help. Baker, strangely, is listed at DE on the Bengals roster and I have seen him listed as such in several articles despite him being a DT on previous teams.

I just don't see what else they can do that makes sense. They have youth all over. And, where they aren't young, they are very very good with vets already there. I canot fathom big investments in skill positions like RB, WR, CB (although, CB wouldn't make me upset)

Offensive line, TE, Safety, and LB is where I see the Bengals going heavy in this draft. It's talented at those spots, so it's a perfect match!

How bout one of those centers?  I wouldn't mind that either.
