I keep seeing national media pundits & analysis saying that the Bengals top need is another end to compliment Dunlap. I honestly didn't think Will Clarke did a bad job when forced to come in for a mediocre MJ. I just didn't see the overglaring need.
I just think that when picking at #9, the Bengals would be better off trading up or taking a FS like Hooker or Adams, a LB like Foster, or a top Olineman over an Edge rusher like Solomon Thomas or Derrik Barnett. I also don't get the RB picks when the Oline as constructed can not run block for that pick. Thoughts?
Top 3 needs, Pass rusher, Competent LB and Oline. We have both safety positions locked up until 2020 with 2 backups who are going into year 3 and 2 respectively. Unless they want a rangy safety that can see the field without Williams or Iloka taking a massive reduction in play time I don't see them drafting one high.
