It seems to me like they are putting a lot of faith into the Defensive Line making the Linebackers better. And to be fair, there is some validity to the idea. I've said all offseason that I think Knight still has potential and can make a bit of a leap this year. I don't think the same for Barrett Ca...

Calling it now, if McCoy drops to us in the 3rd we're taking him.

I’d be mad if we didn’t. The risk/reward is well worth it in the third. Even if he does end up missing this year there is no reason he shouldn’t recover.

The SEC Defensive Player of the Year and a Unanimous All-American, Howell led the SEC with 11 sacks and brings serious burst off the edge, though he lacks prototypical size.

Hey, this guy actually has stats! We won’t have to imagine how he disrupts the offense.

They probably would have ended up taking McCoy at 10 even with Downs and Bain on the board. And now, they have Lawrence and could potentially still end up with McCoy in the second round.

Bengals like to go best player available on their board once we get past the first round. And sometimes in the first round. My guess is they stay on the Defensive side and either take a Cornerback or a Safety. I'd love a Linebacker, but we all know how much they seem to be overvaluing Knight and Car...

I will take him over McCoy in a heartbeat.

Guys I'd be okay with: Arvell Reese, David Bailey, Sonny Styles, Rueben Bain Jr, Caleb Downs, Mansoor Delane Top choice based on reality of how the draft might go, Caleb Downs Can talk myself into getting excited for if all of the above is gone - Jeremiyah Love I would likely be disappointed, but by...
