Another CB I really like is Jaycee Horn.  

I know the defense issue is the line however, and rushing has been a sore for several years.  

Top 5 defenses in gap between DVOA with and without pressure, usually indicative of a strong secondary.

49ers
Bengals
Bills
Broncos
Vikings (!)

Bottom 5 defenses in this gap (i.e. much better *with* pressure)

Eagles
Packers (!)
WFT
Jets
Dolphins (!)

Did you intentionally leave out Waynes?

I can see Surtain being drafted based on two scenarios:
- Bengals do not re-sign WJ3
- Bengals do re-sign WJ3 but plan for Surtain to take over for Waynes in 2022/2023

Surtain or Farley would be about the only defensive player I would be ok with at 5. But I think the pick will be offense if they don't trade back.
