That or Bowers if he falls to 14 or 15.  I get the Billy Price settle over Ragnow, but I don't see the OT group in the same light.  There should be 3 to 4 solid prospects sliding to 15 and I'm OK with sitting at 18.  

That would be fine, if they were machine parts and not human ball players with varying traits and skill sets. It's not realistic to think that they can just take whomever is leftover and expect fantastic results. The Bengals likely have identified the Tackles whom they feel would fit into what they want to do best, and their list might not agree with your list or mine.
