For me, if I could pick one position to upgrade, it would be Brandon Allen's spot. He just does not inspire any confidence in me. I would love to get a Fitzpatrick type on the roster that could give you 5 or 6 good games before they faded.
Backup QB, backup Guard, backup WR, backup 3-tech all are questions.

I also would not argue with more receiver depth.
Nor would I sneeze at an upgrade at CB.
But I'm going to go with 3 tech DT. A proven pass rusher to take Larry's place. You just can't have enough pass rushers.

For me, I'd look at the interior defensive line. It was OK last year and thats when we had Ogunjobi. They didn't do much to fill the gap after he left and I think its super thin at the moment. You could argue pass rush in the NFL is one of the most important aspects of defense and I don't think the Bengals will have a great one this year.
I still think this team adds an impactful guy at that spot after roster cuts or trades for one. I just don't think that guy is on the roster yet and it would fit their mold the past few years of adding a guy like that deep into training camp.
Kind of depends on how Zach Carter comes along cause yes, this is the question behind BJ Hill who isn't quite as good of a
pass rushing 3-tech as Ogunjobi was, better run stopper but we need an interior pass rush. Hoping Carter is the answer, if
not, we will have to add somebody.
