The Bengals can get amazing young talent on Defense at DT, Edge Rusher, LB, Safety, CB in these rounds.
I agree you must protect the QB. Will you agree with me that even Burrow, Chase and Higgins can not be expected to score 50 points a game. This nonsense that the Bengals must eat clock in fear of the other team getting the ball back, the D should not be that weak. The Bengals have one of the best Offenses in NFL, but also have one of the worst Defenses in NFL. A strong Defensive Draft would help, front to back on Defense. Bengals new D Coach Golden should hang out a HIRING-HELP NEEDED sign.
I heard the OL class is better than what was originally reported. I also think if a guy like simmons or possibly Banks is there and you not only get a starting guard now but potential LT of the future that's hard to pass up. But I agree with you and I said it would/should be a Defense focused draft. I like Nolan and Harmon and I think they give us the most value in 1. I'd be excited about either of the top 2 safeties and even Jihad. I just think there is value at alot of defensive positions later.
