Cincinnati Bengals: Grade for 2011 NFL Draft picks

bengalshel042611_optThe Cincinnati Bengals got the best wide receiver in A.J. Green and their quarterback of the future in 2nd round pick Andy Dalton of TCU. More importantly, addressed the offensive line with fourth round pick Clint Boling who slipped to them. Talent wise they upgraded the offense with no reaches. However, they did not address the defensive line which was an obvious need. The question now is does Carson Palmer return, do they sign a free agent to replace Palmer while giving Dalton the chance to watch from the sidelines, or do they start Dalton from day one and let him learn on the job?
