In your opinion, what should we draft with our first 5 picks?

One thing that has me worried is the redskins are interested in Andy dalton, and I don’t want Tannehill nor do I think there is a qb worthy of the 11th over all pick. Does anyone think we would actually trade Andy to the redskins? In my opinion I think we need the following

1. Linebacker- really like white from LSU if he’s there
2. Right tackle/guard
3. Secondary- cb or safety denard being a fa, and Kirkpatrick is kind of slipping. He’s still good but if we can upgrade I’m all for it
4. Wr/ tight end- I know we may bring eifert back and we don’t know what we will do with Ross but with aj getting older and boyd in his last yr we will need help. I think they find a way to resign Boyd because he’s only going to get better.
5. DE/dt Billings is ok but geno needs help. We need someone who can stop the gaping holes in the run game. With DE,  Michael Johnson is 132 years old, and Lawson is good but we need someone to help Dunlap rush from the edge.

I’m interested to hear everyone’s take, because I think Taylor will get high character guys and if we get del rio he will be able to help pick out the right talent. I know there are a lot of people that didn’t like Nickerson, but I didn’t think he was absolutely awful. Finally, do you think we sign anyone as a free agent since it seems there maybe changes on the horiztfor the new look bengals?

In order of heaviest need:  

1.) LB
2.) RT
3.) DT
4.) TE
5.) CB
6.) LB
7.) G

Before I get hammered on "you don't draft positions, you go for BPA, blah, blah, blah...", I just wish these are the positions that BPA would fall to us in Utopian environment.  The Bengals MUST bring in at least 1 quality LB as an immediate starter, and likely draft two more.  I doubt there is a quality offensive lineman to plug and play at RT in FA that would fit our youth movement, either, so the possibility exists that they take the best OT in Rd 1, and see if he can be the LT of the future and move Glenn to RT where I think he would be amazing.
