Did We Really Lose Trent Brown?

I'm thinking Banks from Texas. Its a position that can be penciled in as starter right of the bat and have potential big impact. As well as freeing up the draft for potential trade downs in rd 2 unless the right defensive player falls. Waiting for rd 2 is risky and limits us in trade downs in my opinion because it's a position of dire need at this point. I think this move could give us valuable depth if things do need to shuffle around especially with the depth at backup guards we have currently.

I'm thinking Savaiinaea (OL Arizona) on Day 2.
I have him pegged as Rd 2, as I don't think he's making it to Bengals Rd 3.
He's projected in the 50's among prospects.
And Bengals are having him visit.

If you look at the guys they've met with who play OT/OG, I'm not seeing any 1st round guys who would make sense at 17.
Conerly, Ratledge, and Savaiinaea look to be about the highest projected prospects, and those are all in the 30-60 range.
