From what I've seen there is a grand total of four guys in the draft who could remotely be considered a NT:
Sweat (Texas) Rd 2-3
McKinley (Miss St) Rd 3-4
Jefferson (LSU) Rd 5-6
Anderson (FAU) Rd 6-FA
Am I missing anyone?
Rogers didn't do much at DL for Aubie after leaving the shadow of Deone Walker at UK. Was a five-star at OL coming out of High School. Might make a decent conversion project to OG that late in the draft. I'd take Walker as the Bengals first round pick and be damned happy.
Love this! Now have C (Karras). RG (Cappa) and LT (Brown) lockeddown. Volson will start at LG, but there should be several serviceable C/G wing guys for depth (I'd also scan the wire). That leaves RT. I give Jonah first shot for a year, but Brown's signing doesn't keep me from looking OL in the first round. If Dewand Jones is their at 28 and they think he can be the roadgrader they need there I don't hesitate in pulling the trigger for him. I let him sit behind Jonah for a season (if need be) and then I bookend him with Brown for three years.
OC Karras
LG Volson
RG Cappa
LT Brown
RT Williams
C/G (Mid-round pick)
G/T Carman
T Jones
I believe there are going to be more than a few RBs available in the FA or the middle rounds of the draft (3rd-round or later) that can give the Bengals what Mixon gave then or better (hopefully better in pass-pro) and I don't think the need better with the emphasis on the passing game.
I would not select a RB in round one, even if they were the top-rated remaining guy in the draft. I would look at OT, EDGE, CB and even TE ahead of a ball-carrier and there should be more than suitable ones of those there when the Bengals pick.
