Very possible where the Bengals select and that kid is a major beast.

Another lineman and a defensive back. Maybe Dennard from Nebraska. Maybe an outside linebacker as well.

I hope they address the defense mainly through free agency. They need to basically clean out the secondary (Crocker, Pacman, Clements, Mays) but they won't succeed with a bunch of young guys back there. JJo went to Houston because he saw a bunch of young talent, I think players will come to Cincy with the talent they have. Mikey has to spend money now.

They will probably need to replace Simpson and need another O-lineman or two. Should be able to get good value in the draft. They've never had success drafting RBs so maybe keep Scott and Leonard and sign another vet.

I think Simpson is fine. Don't forget that Shipley will be back next year too

Caldwell and maybe Hawkins will be gone when Shipley comes back. Hopefully Tate is gone instead of Hawkins.

You don't think Simpson will get arrested/suspended before next year? It's strange how nothing has happened with that for so long.

The Bengals secondary isn't awful. It just needs more depth.

They need Leon Hall back 100%. Gonna be tough. Pacman is fine, but not as a full-time starter. Same with Crocker. They definitely need to address CB depth though. Losing Leon Hall really hurt their season.
