-trade down in the 2nd for an extra 3rd rd pick

1) Burrow

2) Lucas Niang-OT TCU

3) Malik Harrison-MLB- Ohio ST.

3) Jordan Brooks-OLB- Texas Tech

- I think they go into the draft trading back to upgrade the LB core with youth, while adding an offensive Lineman early to protect Burrow.

4th-WR
5th-S/CB
6th- DE/Edge
7th-WR/OG

Almost every mock I have done has a slide back in Rd 2 so I can get both the LB and the SS in Rd 3.  I didn't address the offensive line until Rd 4 with Lewis, the forklift RG from LSU.  I don't see a guy like Niang or Wanogho taking the job from Hart in year 1 anyways.  We have to understand the Bengals see Hart as less of a liability than we do, but they clearly want other options at RG.  

With XSF signing, I can't help but wonder if he won't start at LG and have Jordan move to RG.  XSF's one big strength appears to be his mobility and striking on the move...and the Bengals did a lot more pulling guard play with great success down the stretch for Mixon.  

Either way, like LB, they need some serious depth on the line.  

I actually won't draft a LB in rd 2 unless it is Queen or Murray...I am not reaching to a lesser talent for a position like LB.  They should be able to get an immediate starter at WR in Rd 2 if Queen and Murray are gone.
