If that's the case -- and given the uncertainty around All -- do we take Warren if he's there?  What about Loveland?  With Tee on board, do we want to spend first round draft capital on the 3rd option in our passing game?

Bengals first round tight end history isn't encouraging.  Last time we took TE in the first was Jermaine Gresham, over Gronk.  Two years ago we passed on LaPorta for Myles Murphy.  Maybe it's time to get it right.

Thoughts?

It always depends on what the FO does with signing FA's. If we sign a stud guard and a pass rushing DE/LB or a stud DT it is possible. Personally, I love Warren, but the mocks i do he is rarely available at #17.

I hope we fix the trenches in FA so we can go best player available. I think the biggest need is OG, DT and a pass rushing DE.

If we keep Cappa, we need 1 OG. If we cut him, we need 2, possibly one FA and one via the draft.
