Bengals could go any way in the draft, they like to take the best player available, but they still factor in their needs.
With Thompson injured, Hardison not showing much, and Peko a year older I pretty much guarantee we will take a DT pretty high in the draft. Even if the team is high on Hardison I see him more as a back up to Atkins than a NT to replace Peko.
I see a lot of people have LB very high in draft priority, but I think all we need is a nickle package cover LB and we can find a niche player like that in free agency or later than the first two rounds. But Marvin has used some high picks on LBs (Pollack, Rivers, Maualuga) so you never know. I certainly would not complain if we got a good three down LB in the first two rounds.
