Do not want sell the future for now but if they covet somebody and need to move up in this draft with a current pick then that is fine with me. 

After Burrow and Chase are signed Bengals will need all the picks they can get to try and hit on players on rookie deals imo. 

Spot on. They must draft good this year and subsequent years to stay a contender.

I think we need depth at DE. Ossai could be that but I think we need at least one more.

Ojabo would be an interest 1st round pick for us.

Flowers being back helps, as he was excellent in his role as the TE cooler. I wonder if he plays some S this year, given his size & Lou loving 3 S looks.

Wilcox is a good baseline guy for the TE room as TE#3 last year.
