I know it is VERY early, but I view these next few games as "Zac doesn't have the talent deficiency excuse" matchups.  If he craps the bed on the majority of these games, I want new leadership.

I don't believe that will happen, so I believe they won't be picking very early (top 5), which is a bit of a shame as I would love to see the Bengals slide back and get some additional equity from a very high pick and have multiple picks out of a top pick.  Sliding to mid-round (if they aren't there already) could yield a really strong interior defensive linemen. 

That being said, I completely agree that it will most likely be a CB or DE.  I will be surprised if they extend WJIII at this point.  He was much better than Dre, but still far too inconsistent.   Should I be wrong and they do extend him, and (hopefully) Alexander, then you could imagine it almost being 100% a pass rusher.
