Not going to do the full 7 rounds of players on this because what I think will happen becomes really unpredictable after the first few rounds but I will give positions I think that will be added after the first 3 rounds.
What I think will happen:
1st - Derek Barnett - Thomas don't fall to us but we still add a dynamic pass rusher
2nd - Joe Mixon - Bengals love this kid and with Fournette, Cook, and McCaffery I think he will be there in the 2nd for them to take.
3rd Round - Taylor Moton - Need an Offensive Tackle because I have a hard time believing they truly feel like Ogbuehi will improve dramatically after last seasons disaster. Moton may go earlier but they would love to land him here and he will likely be under consideration in the 2nd if they miss on Mixon.
4-7 Rounds - WR, LB, CB, TE, OG, K, S, QB in some order....
What I want to happen:
1st - Malik Hooker - Guy is just a freak athlete and the next Ed Reed. If San Diego passes on him at 7 then he will be available for the Bengals. Shawn Williams would still see meaningful snaps but more as a LB which I think suits him better anyways.
2nd - Malik McDowell - The all Malik draft...lol...but really I could see McDowell sliding to early 2nd round and he would be great value. He has the size we like and there are some concerns about his motor and will he play hard all the time but extremely talented....That sounds just like Carlos Dunlap when he was coming out in the draft and we drafted him in the 2nd. McDowell weighs about 10 to 15 pounds more than Dunlap but I think he can still play Defensive End for the Bengals and also slide in to Defensive Tackle on 3rd downs. I could see Dunlap and Johnson mentoring this guy to become a really valuable member of our defensive line.
3rd - Joe Mixon - I understand how talented Mixon is and won't complain if we draft him in the 2nd (more likely) but knowing several teams have him off their boards completely would make me see if I could draft him a round later or even use some of our 11 picks to move back into the 2nd and take him if we know a team that has shown interest like Detroit is thinking about taking him in the 2nd.
4-7 rounds - I would like to add a Brad Kaaya so we could trade McCarron for a veteran at another position of need that would improve the team overall. I would also like to snag Zane Gonzalez at some point along with picking up some Linebacker depth and a talented Wide Receiver like Carlos Henderson, Josh Reynolds, or Artavis Scott. A good center prospect to actually push Bodine or take his job would be nice but probably just wishful thinking.
