Mock drafts getting re-done

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., the top draftnik out there, now sees the Bengals selecting Pitt cornerback Darrelle Revis in the first round at No. 18 overall. Kiper also likes the Bengals selecting defensive tackle Paul Soliai of Utah in the second round at No. 49 overall.

Soliai would be a third native of American Samoa on the roster, joining Jonathan Fanene and Domata Peko -- also defensive linemen. Peko so far is the best of the bunch, a great value pick in the fourth round last year.

I still see the Bengals going after linebackers and defensive backs in the first two rounds, especially given their shopping spree this week for a veteran defensive tackle -- a hunt that includes Michael Myers of Denver and Ian Scott of Chicago.

Specifically, I like the Bengals grabbing an outside linebacker (the middle is well-manned by Ahmad Brooks with Caleb Miller as the backup) in the first round and defensive back in the second.

Jon Beason of Miami stands out. A second-round pick could be a cornerback or a safety. I still don't know what Keiwan Ratliff isn't doing that has landed him in the depth-chart doghouse. He was their first pick in the second round in 2004. He has been bounced between cornerback and safety and not had the opportunity to settle at one position.
