I'm in on the trade down idea.

I usually go off of ESPN this time of year.

I don't see the Bengals starting Barrett Jones for a few years if they drafted him, that's why I can't see them drafting him.

Walter Football ranks Vaccaro as the #1 safety. And they have him projected to be drafted 38th overall.

With this scenario, depending on where the Oakland pick lies (I suspect top 5), the Bengals could trade back their 1st round pick once or twice, pick up a 2nd and/or 3rd round pick, draft Barrett Jones, and still get Vaccaro in the beginning of the 2nd round.

1 Johnthan Banks CB
You guys are right. I don't know what I was thinking with the extra third. We get a later 1st and 2nd for our higher third. (The extra 6th is already our pick for real). Get a top young CB. This pick is a little more than depth. We do need CB help. We need young guys. This is someone we can pair with Kirk. and/or Hall. A future starter!

2 T.J. McDonald S USC
Still my fav. safety.

2 Khaseem Greene OLB/S Rutgers
A very talented LB.

2 Stepfan Taylor RB Stanford
New feature back.

3 Margus Hunt DE/DT
A HUGE DE to use in rotation.

4 Johnathan Franklin RB UCLA
We need the help

5 Mike Taylor OLB Wisconsin
Still a fav. pick of mine.

6 Josh Boyce WR TCU
Daltons boy. Has some speed!

6 Cameron Meredith DE Nebraska
Smart big run stopper...

There are lots of opinions on the CB corp.

IMO, Hall/Dre Kirk/Pacman (extended)/Allen is an excellent group.

Hall just had an excellent game defending Victor Cruz.

Dre Kirk will get more and more action by year's end. If ML/MZ play Pacman, I believe that he will impress.
