A vertical threat at WR is what is lacking from this offense, IMHO. A speedy, powerful pass-rushing RDE is what is missing on the defensive side of the ball.
We do need to think about LT, but I doubt the Bengals use an early round pick on one...they are going to stubbornly sink or swim with Ced at LT.
I wouldn't take Ross, or Davis, at 9 either. If you look, I slid back and garnered another second rounder. I even commented on it? I don't see Soloman Thomas there at #9, and unless a player like Johnathon Allen drops to them, I could see a scenario where a number of teams desiring to overdraft a LB like Foster would trade up.
Ross, plus a second rounder that they could use to address the C position is very attractive to me and helps the biggest weakness on the team (the offense) right away.
I feel the same way about Williams, he makes great contested catches, but he doesn't scream consistency to me. I think he'd be a better complementary receiver than a true number 1 where as Davis could be our 1b to Greens 1a.
This draft stinks for offensive lineman so to me not one is worth a 1st round pick. I could see us trying to draft guys like Elfein, Pocic, Toth at C and guys like Feeney, Moton, or Mama at G/T which I wouldn't mind seeing maybe at least 2 of these guys drafted.
For me Thomas might be our best match and I personally hope if he's at 9 it's either him or Foster as I think both would be impact contributors and I'm also a defense first type of guy. Jonathan Allen might be the bigger household name, but he does have some injury concerns as well, but he would be a nice pick at 9.
Ross and an extra second wouldn't be bad, I'd just hope we could find an impact DE and LB as both positions sorely need to be upgraded.
