As I see it; Reader, Hendrickson, Bates, Hilton and possibly Waynes and Bell, all could be in the top 15 of their position this year. I realize that I'm going out on a limb, by mentioning Waynes, as he's yet to play a down for the Bengals.
Bates and Reader.
FWIW (and I know Fred rates them highly) PFF has Hendrickson as the 29th edge and DJ Reader the 21st interior D-lineman in their rankings of top 32 at each position. No LBs and they haven't done safeties and corners but I'd expect only Bates from the Bengals to feature from the secondary.
That would be just 3 players in the top 160 defensive players in the NFL, and presumably only one ranked in the top 20 at their position.
