I'd say Kirkpatrick or Amakamura at CB. Whitworth at Tackle. Stefan Wisienewski at C is my C Level guy.
Then...Ronald Leary at Guard.
Line (in no particular order) would be Whitworth, Leary, Wisienewski, Boling, and Fisher. I think we'd actually be upgraded and able to run the ball.
I'd talk to a guy like Robert Woods to see what he'd cost. He really broke out in Buffalo and was buried on their depth chart. He's only 24. (I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals looked at Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, Cordarelle Patterson, and Brian Quick too. Some of those guys would be ok signings.)
I'd also retain Lafell (pending a guy like Woods), Burkhead, and Peerman. I'd waive Maualuga with the drafting of Foster.
I'd take a look at Nick Fairley too as he's been signing 1 year deals. A rotation of Atkins, Fairley, and Billings would be pretty sweet. I'd also look at Andre Smith who may have extremely low value around the league and who knows...may be had for 1 year $3 million? If his value is that low, I might sign him too.
For the draft, I'd go Fournetet/Cook or Foster. I'm kind of leaning towards Foster as I'm seeing him being compared to Kuechly/Patrick Willis. That would transform our defense. RB's typically play at a high level for 8 years. A LB could play at a Pro Bowl level for 10-12+ years. That's why he'd be my pick.
