That being said, I don't want a linebacker in round 1, we need a pass rusher.
What if none of Garrett, Allen, or Thomas is there? Do you "reach" for a rusher like Barnett at 9?
What if the pick was Taco Charlton? He fits more what the Bengals prefer in DEs, but many feel he falls more in the second half of the first round. NFL.com has him compared to Chandler Jones though, who is a double-digit sacker two years in a row. If Charlton can become Chandler Jones when it comes to sacks, then he could be worth that high of a selection.
Some may mention Tim Williams, but he's likely too light (252 lb) and is viewed more as a 3-4 OLB. There are also off-field red flags such as misdemeanor drug charge and marijuana possession. He's now being compared to Randy Gregory, and that's not going to help his draft stock.
Malik McDowell could even be in the discussion, as he has the ideal size the Bengals like in DE. However, he primarily rushes from the interior and would be more raw outside than most first round edge rushers.
