player. 56. <p>After one year back from tearing his Achilles, it was clear that Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl defensive tackle Geno Atkins was not the same. He tied for a career low in sacks with 3 and did not look comfortable on the field.</p> <p>With the uncertainty of him moving forward, drafting an interior lineman for insurance is something the Bengals should consider.</p> <p>Malcolm Brown is one of the more dominant interior lineman in college football. Brown is best off playing in the gap in of a 4-3 defense; which happens to be the same scheme as the Bengals. There he could best showcase his quickness and ability to get to the quarterback, or cause havoc in the backfield.</p>. Defensive Tackle. Texas. Malcolm Brown. 21

Markus Golden. 22. player. 55. <p>Last season the Pittsburgh Steelers were out of their element. They had trouble rushing the passer all season, finishing with just 33. This is highly unusual from a Steelers team. Therefore, in order to make sure this doesn’t turn into a continuous problem, they will select a pass rusher.</p> <p>Over the years, Markus Golden was in the shadow of players such as Shane Ray, Michael Sam, Sheldon Richardson and Kony Ealy. However, Golden had a very successful junior campaign last season. He finished with 10 sacks and 20 tackles for a loss.</p> <p>Golden has excellent speed of the edge, which is something the Steelers will be looking to add. For Pittsburgh, getting to the quarterback has always been key. That is something that must return for them to continue to have success.</p>. Defensive End. Mizzouri
