Lots of good players left.
The chatter amongst draft 'experts' is that we'll go CB.
Let's see...

#Bengals answer to all that ailed the defense: Fix the defensive line.
Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, Dexter Lawrence and now Cashius Howell.
They obviously feel everything will fall into place if that line comes in dominant waves. Hard to argue with Philly/Seattle precedent.

Hard to get past how different Howell is as a style of player compared what the #Bengals have gone for. His versatility and speed getting after the passer is a tool they just didn't have.
This from The Beast: "Overall, Howell needs to expand the consistency of his impact beyond winning as a high-side rusher, but his athletic twitch, play speed and violent demeanor make for the type of package you bet on at the position. At worst, he should be a designated pass rusher, with the ceiling of a versatile NFL starter (like Haason Reddick) who can be moved around the front.
