the only two backers i like in round 1 are Edmunds and Smith. I am hoping the Bengals get Ragnow or Price and a good guard. I know they have Westerman but they still need another guard. I think they may need a DE early though because I think they will up contract of Atkins but maybe not Dunlap. I hope they keep both.

I'd be a lot more open to Evans if it weren't for his health concerns. VE and Evans both have some maddening missed tackles, but I like VE's coverage abilities. I'd prefer VE over Evans, and most certainly Price over Phillips.

Simple for me: I have Vander Esche ranked ahead of Evans, but if one is gone, the other is still a good prospect. I am fairly certain the Bengals won't reach for a Center in the first despite the massive need. It is one of the deepest center classes in a long time.
Trading down if it is there in the first, and getting an additional second rounder and THEN taking the Center? That would be just fine by me.
