What pick(s) would surprise you (in a good way)?

I disagree. Just a few years ago, we all said that the Bengals needed a first-round OG but didn't expect it because the Bengals had never selected an OG in the first round.
Yet, surprisingly to many, the Bengals ended up doing just that when they selected Kevin Zeitler. Many thought it was nice to see the Bengals finally doing something they hadn't done before.

Many people mock certain players and/or positions at certain rounds even though it usually doesn't follow the Bengals draft trends. But the hope is that the Bengals might buck that trend this year.

That was the purpose of this thread.

As for what the thread evolved into....yes, you are right (to some extent). People are saying "I'd be surprised if X was selected because I like X".
Where it really was meant to be like "I'd be surprised if the Bengals selected Reggie Ragland because they already have Rey Maualuga. But I'd be happy because I think that Ragland would be an upgrade over Maualuga."

To prompt Stormborn....

Why do you think the Bengals wouldn't select Rankins? Is it because he will go too soon and you think the Bengals will select a DT later? Is it because you think the Bengals feel like they are set at DT or they aren't looking for a UT?
