I would be good with those two picks.  I guess that would mean either finding LB talent through free agency, but the more research I do into Cody Ford, the more I believe that I would be happy with him as a Bengal.  In the running game, he literally blows men right off of the ball, he never stands around, always seems to get to the second level to make additional blocks.  His footwork could use a little refinement in Pass Pro., but he has the basic agility and athleticism to stay up with NFL rushers.  Hockenson I am also growing to really have a strong appreciation for, as well.  He has the prerequisite hands, but his in-line blocking is something that most pass-catching TEs just don't display much of, in this day and age.

With those two, the rushing offense would have great opportunity in the 5,7, and 9 holes!
