If the Bengals signed a good linebacker or lineman in free agency it would open things up at 33.  It seems like there leaning on drafting Burrow and then filling all there needs with picks 2-7 which is crazy. You figure 6th and 7th round picks typically don't even make the roster or are on average low impact players. So your banking on finding a quality RT, Guard, and at least one starting linebacker with picks 2-5. I didn't even include corner which is also a need. Factor in they haven't been able to draft a good linebacker in forever.

The first pick in 2 is like a round 1.  There will be a top Offensive Tackle on the board here.  

The first pick in 3 is like a round 2.   Mock drafts I see on ESPN, CBS show some very good talent at 4-3 LB or 4-2 LB here.  

There are often some good Guards still on board in rounds 4 and 5.   Also the first pick in 4 is like a round 3 and there could be a good WR, or a good TE or a good RB for depth behind Mixon.  I think we do well at top of 4 and 5. 

If in the top of 3 at around pick 65,  If we have QB Burrow, a Top Offensive Tackle and a Top 4-3 Linebacker,  I will be happy and there is no reason we can't get all this by around Pick 65. 

No, I'm not talking Free Agents because Glenn came here from Bills and has been a bust.  Plus Mike Brown says why should he pay big money for Blockers.  Often NFL teams don't let their Pro Bowl type Blockers go free agent, they lock them in.  So I feel the best Offensive Tackle TALENT will be that first pick in round 2 at pick 33.  Please people, do not tell me of other weak positions.  O Line is weakest in NFL.  You do NOT draft a Burrow and put him behind worst O Line in NFL.  That is a good way to get him killed early in his career.   If you take Burrow #1, you must take someone to Block for him #2.   We can still get a good LB because top of 3 is like a round 2.  The Blocker will help Mixon also. 

My hope here is Top Pick Jonah Williams healthy at Left Tackle, the Tackle we take at pick 33 at start of 2 is our Right Tackle and at least Burrow has some bookend Tackle blocking. At least it's a start in trying to fix the worst O line in NFL. They need to dump Glenn salary if contract is up. I don't look for AJ or Andy back and Glenn gone would just be more money in the honey pot in the major rebuild this team needs. Is this team keeping Eifert because he hasn't been a top TE in many years now ? Time to let players leave free agent and fill the honey pot with mega bucks for a team of players better than 2-14. Look, I'm not sold on Zac, but don't shackle him with Marvin players. Marvin is ancient history. Every coach needs to get new players to work his systems. Then if they still lose, you fire Zac.
