Do the Bengals Stay Put or Trade Down?

But I fear we're looking at Robinson (OT) and Lattimore/Humphrey (CB), figuring that we'll lose Zeitler and Kirkpatrick ... 

If Whit and Big Z leave, then Robinson becomes more of a possibility.  Nevertheless, Robinson would not be worthy of 9th pick.  There is no doubt the Bengals are targeting a DE and they have their guy in mind.  (Think S. Thomas or Charlton).  I would be ecstatic if they took Hooker, Cook, LF, Foster, Thomas, or Williams. 

I just hope if they trade back, that the team is creative enough to packages deals aggressively and trade back up in the draft to get quality (over quantity) players.
