What do you want as the bengals number1 pick?

And of course I'd be thrilled to get Foster.  His instincts, acceleration and tackling are elite.  He would create fear and loathing to running backs and TEs.

If we get any one of those 3 players I will be thrilled.

The Bengals structured Williams' contract so they could get out from under it easily if he didn't pan out.  They would save $2.7 mill if they cut him this upcoming off-season iirc.  

Foster is highly overrated, imo.  He is this year's Rey Maualuga, i.e. a guy that looked like a beast when surrounded with great talent that looks to be nothing more than a 2 down thumper when you really look at him.  He's suspect in coverage and hasn't shown much as a pass rusher, so he's not going to be a 3-down player, at least immediately. I just don't see how you can spend a 1st rounder on a LB that's not great in coverage and or a great pass rusher in today's NFL.
