Per PFF, Bates was rated 12th best safety in the league and Williams was rated 34th, which is good considering there are 64+ starting safeties. Both with 71+ rating, which is considered above average starter level.
The only way I can see this being reasonable is if Williams were to be moved to LB, which we don't know would happen yet. And honestly, I'd rather keep Williams at S and get one of Devin White, Devin Bush, or Mack Wilson to put at LB over taking Nasir Adderley and moving Williams to LB.
As for the OT, perhaps I'm missing something, but I thought Edoga was expected to be a Day 3 pick? Did something happen that would force the Bengals to have to take him in the 2nd round?
Completely agree, Safety is not a big need. Linebacker on the other hand is our biggest need followed by O-line.
