With NT Dexter Lawrence currently projected at #24, maybe a failed drug test causes him to slide to the top half of the second round?  How sweet would that be for the Bengals to be able to grab to premium defenders like White and Lawrence in 1 and 2?

I guess that would mean OT in free agency, but oh well..

I think Billings is playing rather solid at NT, no need to replace him already with Lawrence. I think more of a 3T or nickel DT would be more beneficial, and that's not Lawrence IMO. I do think (at least) one of Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, Rashan Gary (nickel DT), Christian Wilkins, Dremont Jones, or Jerry Tillery should be available in Rd 2 given the abundance of talent at the position.

That would allow for LB or OT in Rd 1. Personally, I'd go White if he's there, but I could also be game for Jawaan Taylor, Jonah Williams, or Greg Little too.
