What Are Your Priorities In This Draft?!

You have to compare them/him to other NTs, not DR/3Ts. 

And no, he was not much of a reach. 

To answer the OP: 

1) Immediate impact difference makers, anywhere is fine. No QB or WR or OT early, unless you are moving the OT to G. I'd prefer G (Zabel or Jackson), S (Emmanwori or Starks), or some kind of pass rush help (Harmon, Nolen, Green). 

But a higher end guy at another position would still take preference over ANY of those guys (Warren, Walker, Jeanty, Johnson, W. Campbell, Membou). J. Campbell or Lovelandor Barron is a tougher call.

2) Guard
3) Safety
4) Pass rysh from DT 
5) Pass rush from edge

My board for Rd1 would be: 

1) Carter 
2) Hunter 
3) Graham
4) W. Cambell
5) Membou
-----------
6) Walker
7) Warren
8) Johnson 
9) Jeanty
-------------
10) J. Campbell 
11) Jackson 
12) Zabel 
13) Starks 
14) Emmanwori 
15) Harmon 
16) Loveland 
17) Nolen 
18) Green
---------

If I think Loveland can block, he jumps to 10th or 11th..I forgot Green initially. 

I think the first 9 will almost certainly be gone. I'd be fine with any of the 2nd 9, plus Barron.

Jackson has the second lowest RAS of any NT the Bengals have drafted this century, ahead of only Shelvin.  The only starting NT's they drafted had a RAS of over 5(Peko and Billings).  So yes, it trends lower, but not that much lower.

I just want them to use a late pick on Desmond Watson.

He has to be able to help stop the run, right?
Not sure he will ever be an impact player but the NFL is entertainment and he would be fun to watch.
