Orlando Brown just doesn't look like an NFL lineman from snap to snap - way too upright. Derwin James reminds me of Shaq Thompson from three years ago - possibly a better Taylor Mays/big nickel dude.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts as well, but maybe in a bit different order.
I would go with McGlinchey as highest rated, then the two LBs, then Vita Vea. I don't see CB on our radar in Rd 1, nor do I see Guard. Even though that was a major hole a year ago, the Bengals showed they have solid choices in both Westerman and Redmond who looked very promising in their first action. They have Boling, too, should they decide to keep him at LG.
A part of me can't help but think it might make more sense to try Boling at LT and have the entire offseason to work with that, and Westerman and Redmond as your guards....then you only need address Center and possibly RT, even though Fisher has been cleared.
I still am hopeful they do the unthinkable and sign the FA center from Baltimore, Ryan Jensen, and then take the LB in Rd 1 and perhaps Zeus Jr for RT in Rd 2, should he be available.
