Common theme in these drafts is Burrow first, obviously, then get the WR (was surprised Jefferson was still there after trading back), then defensive speed merchants at S and OLB. Then a few future starters that can earn their way on the field. Damien Lewis is a mauler for RG, and Mustafa Johnson is a poor man's Geno. Trautman won't be there in the 6th, as he was one of the highest testing TEs, but coming from DIII University of Dayton will hurt him. Rodrigo will also probably be drafter higher, but he was there so I took him.
The real challenge for the Bengals will seem to be at #33. There will likely be one of the two LBs (Queen or Murray) there, but do you take them and give up the additional 3rd rounder and grab a WR with the first pick in Rd 3? Tough call. It will obviously depend on what WR is there, but it will be the biggest dilemma facing them draft day.
