Perhaps the Nolen pick, then, made what might've been a 50-50 coin flip of a decision a whole lot easier as they went with Stewart. The Bengals rookie certainly looks like he can set the edge in a Sam Hubbard-like role while developing as a pass-rusher, making him, too, an obvious fit, if not the best player available when they were on the clock.

Linebacker, pass rush and guard are musts in this draft for Cincinnati but they'll also be looking to bolster other areas.
