U only take Harry if u are 100 percent sure one of the top 3 lbers will be avaliable. Ideally I'd go white,Ford,hockenson. 1st 3 rounds. And honestly our lber Corp could be very decent after that if we let burfict go with Jefferson and vigil on the outside with white at mlb.

I can agree with that statement. If White really has found out how to shed blocks and improve his coverage somewhat (he wasn't bad before but wasn't elite either), he'd be a great addition to the team. Jefferson needs to find a way onto the field. He could be a great fit as a see-and-chase LB with his speed. Vigil I think can be fine in that SAM role. A big problem though is even with Vigil-White-Jefferson as the starting group, the backups are not good, and getting rid of Burfict and letting Rey walk will only make things tougher. Bengals probably will need to bring in a cheaper vet FA for backup and also draft a mid-round LB. Maybe a guy like Khalil Hodge out of Buffalo. Dude is a tackling machine with quickness.

As for Ford, I've seen him being discussed in late 1st according to some sites. If he's not available when Bengals pick in Rd 2, who would you go with next?
