Lawson 40
Baker 41
Shaheen 45
Brantley 47
Williams 49
Godwin 54
Dawkins 55
Basham 56

If there is something to eiferts back you gotta look shaheen.  I think bowser can be a stud.  

Dawkins provides great insurance and future starter.  Baker and melifonwu are "luxury" pics vs need picks.  I double dip d line later

Baker may be the best player available with his instincts, overall coverage of everyone that isn't a TE and a descent tackler.  Conversely, Melifonwu's value is vs the TE. CIncy doesn't play a S in CF enough,  and though I like the idea that many have in moving S.Williams to NLB, they'd have to alter their attack some.

Tim Williams screams nickel rusher, specifically 3-3-5 elephant rusher you can move around.  I don't know that he has the coverage skills to toy with at SLB, and may not hold up as a rusher with his hand down.  Brantley is the safer pick. If they can get his timing down, I agree with the post above that hed be a nice rotational DT. That would have to mean Hardison gets at least a chance to play a tweener role.  You would have a DL full of guys that won't win a sprint, but are relentless, skilled and deep.

Elflein is worth the pick, but they have to believe it.  They have to see that Bodine shouldn't be promised anything, and Elflien's day one stability is worth passing on a player with better upside.  Baker is my guy, Elflien or Brantley I'd be cool with but the good news is yal drafted so logically thru the mock that that in real life they'll likely see better options.

Bowser - OLB/DE with cover skills
Obi Melifonwu - Athletic DB who would allow us to moonlight Williams as a LB on passing downs possibly
Awuzie - Shutdown corner. I know we're averse to taking another corner, but corners are like pitching in baseball. You can never have enough
Raekwon McMillan - Minter is on a one year deal and McMillan has the physical skills to be a force at linebacker
Elflein - Versatile OL who could step in at Center on day one
