Right now depth isn't the issue on this team.  We have plenty of depth as we've seen with guys like Adenji, Carman, Johnson and Prince that have stepped in and played at a decent enough level to win.  We need guys that can move in and be an upgrade over those guys.

That's fair.

The WR was actually WR5 and the new PR. Reynolds was added in FA for WR4.
But yea, I see your point.

Safety I completely get. They are usually cheap for backups anyway.

I just felt that Ifedi, Jewell, and Reynolds were good, realistic options that still allow the team to start their younger guys but have solid depth.
I don't know of many other FAs that have G/OT swing ability, and the draft would probably result in someone worse than Ifedi.
I doubt the Bengals would really go for an outside OL who costs $10+ mill a year also.

Depth is an issue though. Depth at LB, OT, TE, WR, and C is bad.
SS is missing a backup if Allen leaves.
CB depth is kinda bad, could be worse with Phillips, Hargreaves, and Flowers all set to hit FA.
