Since I believe Garrett, Thomas, and Barnett would all be gone at 9, I hope the Bengals can execute the following gameplan:
Slide a bit in Rd 1, gain an additional 2nd rounder. Select Ross or Davis with first pick.
Trade our original 2nd rounder and 3rd rounder to get back in to the very bottom of Round 1 and select Cam Robinson. That would give the Bengals an additional year before free agency on him. He would compete with Ced at LT (competition improves the breed) and if Ced wins the job, you slide Robinson to RG where he could start by backing up Smith (he could really back up every position but Center) and would eventually be the RG of the future where he has ALL-PRO written all over him.
We still have the second rounder we traded for and that is where I would select Hall. Some might call it a reach, but here is what I like about him.
He is a physical freak with speed to get around the edge. He played a lot at LDE, where he was asked to set the edge and watch for a lot of read-option. He did this very well, as he would never get too wide and allow a back to slide back inside. He was very disciplined in his responsibilities as a LDE. When he did get the chance to rush the passer, he offered a variety of moves, including an inside swim move at full speed. Garrett got all the attention playing the RDE side, but he was rarely asked to set the edge like Hall. He was constantly in pursuit of the QB which gave him opportunities for more sacks, etc.
Hall could play RDE for the Bengals. He is a little lean, but if you watch his tapes you will see against big RTs in the SEC, he was never pushed out of the way...virtually always held his ground. I know people might not want a guy drafted that high to be coming in at a change of position, but he did play some snaps at RDE.
He could be a really, really good player and the only supposed weaknesses I can read on him is inconsistency. I think some of that is because as you watch him, his assignment wasn't rushing the passer. He is a very team-first, high-motor guy that I like a great deal.
Thoughts?
