player. 56. <p>When Andy Dalton is under center the Cincinnati Bengals can be a Super Bowl contender. With Andy Dalton out for the foreseeable future, it is hard to know what you are going to get from this team. AJ McCarron will be facing one of the best defenses in the league Monday night when they travel to Denver, in what also amounts to one of their biggest tests of the season. He will need to rely heavily on his offensive line and running backs to carry some of the load left by Dalton.</p> <p>Now this Bengals team has most of their priorities covered, but the biggest hole that they could plug is at safety. Both Reggie Nelson and George Iloka will be free agents, so getting some depth will be their primary focus in 2016.</p> <p>With Jalen Ramsey off the board, the attention at the safety position goes to Jayron Kearse, a safety from Clemson. With good size and range for the position, Kearse is a great fit for this defense. He can play with excellent quickness and plays the ball well in the air when needed. With two veterans heading towards free agency, getting some young blood in the Cincinnati secondary would be a smart move.</p> <p>Previous Pick: Su’a Cravens, S/LB</p>. Safety. Clemson. Jayron Kearse. 29
