I'm all for Golden having a huge say in who Bengals draft on Defense, because the D was good before he left.  Just as I want Reds to listen to Terry Francona on rebuild, I want Bengals to listen to Golden on rebuild. I don't think Mike Brown and Family have a clue in the drafts, so I would hope they would let Taylor and Golden and other coaches have an input on who might fit their systems.  The Bengals need a Stud at DT either in Free Agency or Draft.  Bengals were tough at DT in Super bowl year, but last 2 no play-off years Bengals are weak at DT up the gut.  You build a D from the front back and you build a D line from the inside out.  With out a good DT, the D will be weak.  I like a good outside pass rush, but you have to stop the power up the middle play, the most basic play in football. 

Well, they can only make one (1) pick in the first round. (yes, I know that they could wheel and deal, but they typically don't) And right now the best fits for pick #17 are looking to be DT, DE, G.
