Tier 1: Running to the Podium
1. Carter, DE/OLB, Penn Sate
2. Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
3. Graham, DT, Michigan
4. Johnson, CB, Michigan
5. Starks, S, Georgia
6. Warren, TE, Penn State
7. Walker, LB/DE, Georgia
----------------
Tier 2: Run to Podium depending on FA
8. McMillan, WR, Arizona (only if Tee leaves)
9. Campbell, OT/OG, LSU (if we don't fix G in FA)
10. Jeanty, RB, Boise State (if we DO fix G in FA)
11. Banks, OT, Texas (if OBJ cut for cap)
------------------
Tier 3: Trade Back is fine/Needs
11. Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
12. Harmon, DT, Oregon
13. Grant, DT, Michigan
14. Scourton, DE, Texas A&M
15. Campbell, LB, Alabama
16. Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
17. Booker, OG, Alabama
---------------
Tier 4: Adding +4 for the variables above 
18. Pearce, OLB, Tennessee 
19. Loveland, TE, Michigan 
20. Burden, WR, Missouri 
21. Jackson, OG, Ohio State

It appears you chose a top 10 board and assumed the Bengals can trade back or if Tee leaves.

I don't disagree if we have 4 or both options from our top 17 to attempt to trade back, but question becomes how far back we trade and make sure we get the 1st round pick we want. Or is it a better option to attempt to tag and trade Tee and get extra picks for Tee in 2025 and use the cap money to fix the trenches.

As for this thread, my assumption was Bengals want to use 17th pick to help our team in 2025.
