That being said, I look at guys that I would love to have - a right tackle, upgrade at G, LB... In Marvins camp, these guys wouldn't see significant playing time.
I have a hard time thinking that they go OT in round 1 anymore (or even O-line) since they have put money into Hart and Miller. Price is young and will be given every opportunity to build on his play prior to getting hurt. I think a lineman rides the bench all year.
That brings me to the obvious choice - linebacker. I think this is in play since they can rotate guys, but with Vigil and Brown, how much do they put a rookie on the field? As far as I'm concerned just 3rd down to play the pass would be worth the pick.
All that being said, I wouldn't mind Ed Oliver if he's there as he is an immediate rotational piece. I also would be ok with an edge rusher or TE - if it was Hockenson.
If I was a fan of a normal team, things would be much different, but I want to see the guy we draft get on the field and make a difference.
Wilkins or Oliver if the Bengals go DT at 11. Wilkins is going to be a beast in the NFL.
