It seems like it's more common for offensive weapons to contribute more as rookies than OL or defense. At least in the Bengals scheme anyway.
For that reason, I wouldn't be opposed to a pass catcher (WR or TE) and RB by the end of Day 2.
Plus, as much as we likely don't agree with the approach, I think the Bengals feel they are set with their starting OL with Ogbuehi, Boling, Bodine, Smith, and Fisher. Plus they have their set of incumbent backups in Westerman, Johnson, and Winston. That likely leaves room for just one more OL (likely depth) to compete with Trey Hopkins and Alex Redmond for the final OL roster spot.
The starting DL to begin the season is also likely on the roster already in Dunlap, MJ, Atkins, and Billings. Any DL player to be drafted will likely be used as a situational/rotational player as a rookie.
