If the draft falls this way for the Bengals, their first draft under Zac Taylor will go a long — LONG — way toward redefining the team’s culture. Devin White in the first round and Chris Lindstrom in the second round would give the roster two players who are as close to can’t-miss prospects as they come, not to mention two guys who absolutely love the game.

Lindstrom has 34 collegiate starts under his belt, including 11 at right tackle. His athleticism, football IQ and fighter’s mentality will make him an instant starter in the NFL, including for a Bengals team who can place Lindstrom next to last year’s first-rounder, Billy Price, to form a very promising interior offensive line.
