Bengals draft priorities heading into NFL Combine.

Thanks for that. I did not know there was a limit. 

All the draft talk is two steps ahead, though with the combine happening I get it. 

FA first. A lot of guys we are dreaming of will likely be signed or tagged by 4 pm Tuesday: Jones, Madubuike, Wilkins, Onwenu, Winfield, Johnson, & Sneed. But maybe 1 slips through. 

I think Leonard Williams likely hits FA. If all those guys are off the market, he and Reader would be #1 & #2 for me. We should have around $20 mil left after that. I'd go vet safety (moving Hill closer to LOS and with our main dime package being 3 Safeties), Townsend, + 2 of Chido, Eluemunor, Boyd, Schultz, or IOL upgrade. 

FA Dream Scenario:
1. Tee signed long term
2. Reader back with real favorable Y1 Terms
3. L. Williams, DT, $13-$15 mil
4. Onwenu, OT/G, $15 mil
5. Townsend, P, KC
------------
6. Cutting Scott + some other restructures frees enough space to sign one vet S on the market.

#18: Bowers, best CB, JPJ, or OT (Onwenu to LG).
Rd 2: Sweat, Sanders, WR3, or best CB left.
Rd 3: WR3, TE, CB, Jackson
Rd4: Whatever is left.

If Onwenu is gone, turn that into 2 guys: lesser OT, IOL FA, TE, Chido, Boyd, vet NT.
