49) TJ Tampa, CB Iowa St - As much as I could see the Bengals being willing to wait on a CB because of who they have, I think Tampa could be BPA here based on what DTs and WRs there are. I love Tampa's fit into Anarumo's defense.

80) Brenden Rice, WR USC - Bengals are very likely prepping for Higgins' departure after this season. Rice as the potential to be a good WR2 as early as next season.

97) Ben Sinnott/Theo Johnson/Cade Stover, TE - All are projected late 3rd, and I don't feel the Bengals will be pressed to take one at 80. Just like they did at 18, they will wait patiently to see who falls to them. I don't think all of these TEs will be gone by this pick and would be happy with any of them.

If DT isn't taken today, I predict one taken in Rd 4-5. And they have a lot of Day 3 ammo to trade around if they really want a guy and afraid of missing out.

It's wishful thinking, but this is how my mock simulator looked.  I'd be ecstatic with this.
