Trading back in the first round

I can see us trading back in the first round or early part of the second round if teams are offering up multiple second or third round picks. I think that if we get our guy at 17 be it DeCastro, Kirkpatrick, Glenn, Floyd ect. we could trade down to pick up Doug Martin or Lamar Miller while picking up a second or third round pick which could land us a good DT/DE/WR/Safety with the extra pick. Trading down from 21 might be our best way to go come draft day. I know that this all depends on a team wanting to move up but it oculd happen. What do you guys think?

Honestly with so many 5th round picks I could possibly see us trade up in the 3rd or 2nd.

I am always for moving down.

I think it's a good idea but I just don't see the Bengals doing this. Full discloser, I really think our priority is to get a WR by the second round, someone who has the speed/hands to contribute right away (no projects). Just think this is a more pressing need than RB. So if a trade for our 21st includes a later 1st plus another 2nd or early 3rd, then I can see us filling our immediate needs at OG, Secondary, WR & RB in rounds 1&2. Then we could focus on LB & Def line in rounds 3 & 4.

Realistically my mock won't assume any trades
