Summary

Even though the Bengals need a major restructuring on defense, it may be very hard to pass up drafting Jeremiyah Love at No. 10 if he's still on the board. Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss how the Bengals could ABSOLUTELY benefit by drafting Jeremiyah Love in the first round, and how it could take Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense to another level. Who is the best defensive player in the NFL Draft? Is it Caleb Downs or Rueben Bain Jr.? Alex and Coach debate that question and what should be a bigger priority for the Bengals' defense.
