Guard in the first round?

There's value there in getting DL in the middle rounds if you have solid starters set going into the draft.
But I'm not seeing guys in Rds 3+ who I would consider 3-down guys that could start immediately and be markedly better than 2nd-year Jenkins or Jackson.

If Bengals have a plan to start Jenkins, Jackson, and/or Murphy, I'm looking to draft 2 DL within the first two days of the draft.

I agree, especially if we add a Guard in FA.

Honestly not against Emmanwori. Dude is a freak and is fast so he could play FS and Battle would be the SS.

A great Safety makes a Defense so much better but we have to have a good DL as well as it starts in the trenches.

Hope FA is concentrated on the trenches to free up an Emmanwori type pick.
