Scourton isn't quite at the 10.0 sack totals he had last year with Purdue, but he's at 5.0 through 11 games and you can see his high ceiling on game film.
Starks could be the best coverage FS in this draft class, and I feel there are quite a few good safeties in this class, so he could be a great selection.
I'm not overly thrilled with the WR class this year compared to last year, but if McMillan is there, I think he could be a great Higgins replacement.
Burden is a slot, but maybe the Bengals prioritize slot and have Burton and Iosivas compete for outside WR as the 3rd/4th option in the offense instead.
Egbuka I think is well rounded, versatile WR but he doesn't seem elite in one particular area, so I can see him falling to mid-late 1st or maybe even early 2nd. He's very good though and I would be happy to have him.
I could also easily be sold on either Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren to become the new 2nd option in the offense.
I've always been a sucker for an elite TE though, as I love the offensive style with a guy like Kelce, Gronk, Graham, etc.
Either of these two dudes could allow the Bengals to go to 12 personnel a majority of the time.
Walter Nolen is probably the DT to target if Mason Graham isn't available, but Mason Graham is maybe the only blue chip DT in this draft class. Likely going Top 10 though if not Top 5. Nolen should be available when the Bengals pick.
I doubt Bengals would pick an IOL in the teens, but there may be one or two. I feel like it's going to be defense or pass catcher in Rd 1 though and maybe IOL on Day 2.
Kenneth Grant is one to look at if you're looking for a 1st round DT. He's an insanely athletic 339 pound NT with tremendous fist step quickness and burst. As a freshman, he allegedly ran a sub 5 second 40...at 360 pounds! Surprised he hasn't really been discussed with as much chatter as there was for Sweat last year.
