In the 1st round? Or later rounds?

I don't think either of those guys should be selected in the 1st round, but the 2nd or 3rd, would be good.

In the 1st round, Bengals should take the best player available, regardless of position. Where they are picking there will be some good talent left on the board. It's possible they can snag really good LT, or maybe another safety, or LB.

Safety is also another position of concern

Chris Crocker and Tom Nelson aren't going to cut it

Earl Thomas or Taylor Mays, Aaron Hernandez or Jermaine Gresham.

Or the Best WR Available. Could be Tate, Gilyard, LaFell, Williams, etc.

I would hold off on a TE because the Bengals still have Chase Coffman who spent his time on IR this season.

I could see that. But I would say safety is just as important, if not more than WR.

Mays should be around when you pick, if Thomas gets taken prior to that. I think Thomas is better than Mays, overall, though, so that's who I'd target.

Watching Chris Crocker play is disturbing at times.

Coffman couldn't get activated all season before he was put on the IR. No way the Bengals can count on a guy who was basically a slot receiver in college to be their starting tight end. If Gresham is there, I would take him. If Coffman is the real deal, then you have two tight ends.

I'd say Gresham in the 1st and a WR who can stretch the field in the 2nd. In a perfect world the Bengals could find a WR in free agency and address other needs in the draft, but I'm not counting it.
