I like Abdul Carter at lot, but if the team trades a lot of valuable picks for him and he gets injured, then it would set the Bengals back years. Von Miller comes to mind: signed by Buffalo for $120 million dollars and torn his ACL first year, did terrible the 2nd year trying to come back from the ACL, etc. Then there's the trade up from the 5th spot to select Ki-Jana Carter with a first -- a sure-fire talent who ended up injured. It's a lot of draft capital to risk trading up from 17 to top 4, and the Bengals have a lot of holes to fill.
