Not wanting to predict any trades that haven't actually happened yet, I rolled with what we currently have for picks.  Was tough for me to pass on Delpit at 33, but Murray could/should be the face of our defense for the next 8-12 years.

I like Wilson and Lemieux to add power and energy to the Right side of the OL.  I feel like Pittman is a steal in the 5th, and Fuller and Taylor will push for roster spots and give a huge boost to Special Teams.

Like it overall, especially the later rounds...some talent there.  I can't help but think there will be a HUGE run on OTs due to the minimal FA available and the seemingly deep dearth of talent in the league at OT.  I definitely see the Bengals taking a mauler to play RG as Miller is in the last year of his deal and if they find a real gem, he could become trade bait/cut because they already have Price as a backup.  

My dream would be that Price comes in 100% healthy and lights it up and steals the RG position from Miller, but I just think Price is not a talented player.  I'm sure all the injuries have hampered his performance, but he just looks like a massive bust.  Thank God for Hopkins, or that bust would have felt even more than the Og and Fisher busts with no center on the team.  

Your draft addressed several huge issues: speed and range at LB, beef on the offensive line, and a talented playmaker at safety.  Fuller has great ball skills but is not a great tackler.  I would take a playmaking safety to pair with Bates and have some more INTs over Williams, who is questionable at both.
