Bengals draft priorities heading into NFL Combine.

Hilton has his own role separate from those three and presumably the first round CB.

Our first round pick needs to START this year. Can't draft more backups and projects. We haven't drafted a non-top-5 decent rookie starter in the first round since Tyler Eifert in 2013.

That's the best way to make sure you draft a bust.  I would prefer to go into the draft with no glaring holes.  We have the money to add a RT, DT and another starter if we want.

If that's the case, then you force yourself to take a guy that plays a specific position.  If sign a stud RT, do you still go OT in the draft?  

I would love for a guy to come in and take the starting job away, but I'm glad we don't have to rely on rookies like we used to.
