Patrick Queen who is a 3 down linebacker
Kenneth Murray who has incredible sideline to sideline speed.
Ross blacklock, a raw talent who could develop into a foundation piece to the defensive line after Atkins.
Damon Arnette, a solid DB with good ball skills.
Do not sleep on Zach Baun. Lou Anarumo plays a hybrid defense and he needs a edge/lb who can shift positions depending on what front they want to show. He can rush the passer standing up or down, drop into coverage, set the edge and help stop the run. He did all of that at Wisconson and Lou will put a premium on a guy who can do it naturally. Absolutely do not be surprised if Zach is the pick at 33.
Whoever Bengals take at pick #33 should be a 1st Round Talent that has slid due to a run on quarterbacks or a run on another position. Now if there is a 4-3 Linebacker who should have went Round 1, GREAT....or an Offensive Tackle who should have went in Round 1, to bookend with Jonah to try to fix worst O Line in NFL, GREAT.
However lets say no Round 1 players at 4-3 LB, or OT fall to us at #33. Then that means a WR, or a RB or a DB or a D Lineman who should have went in Round 1 is sitting there at 1st pick in Round 2. This gives Bengals an Extra Round 1 besides Burrow at QB. Plus, the 2 win Bengals can use help at many positions. They should not take a Round 2 player, NO....They should take a Round 1 player who fell due to a Run on QB's or WR's or such, and moved a Round 1 Player down one space into Bengals laps at Top of 2. Paul Brown would say his name is B.A.A.....Best Available Athlete....Did I mention a Round 1 Tight End like a Gronk or Kelse if there is one and falls to us. ...I'm hoping OT or LB, but the most amazing athlete still on board at start of 2 is our guy, no matter his position. Other than QB if we take Burrow.
This IS like having 2 First Round Picks.
I don't attempt names because there is always a SURPRISE who is still there at 1st Pick in Round 2. This Year, Bengals can grab that Surprise Player.....his name is B.A.A.
Lets not forget the 1st pick in 3 is like a 2.....The 1st pick in 4 is like a 3.....The 1st pick in 5 is like 4. .....Bengals should get 5 very good athletes to help this 2 win team turn things around
