What about tight end? Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren were mentioned as top favorites for pick No. 17. Georgia safety Malaki Starks was also mentioned before the first defensive lineman (Walter Nolan).

Most mocks have pegged the Bengals to take defense in the first round. But it's clear the Bengals will continue to invest in the offense, especially given all the money they are now paying to quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. A first-round offensive lineman may not be the worst idea in the world.
