I'd have to see who is available, but I could make a case for OT, TE, WR, DT, DE, CB, S.

Bengals are about to have some big money occupied by Burrow, Chase, and company.
So it becomes critical to find upgrades on cheaper contracts via FA and/or draft picks.
As such, the Bengals need to get guys in the draft who can contribute as much as possible on rookie deals.
So I like to target guys in the early rounds who either have a spot to start as rookies or have a vet in front of them that will be potentially departing in FA after a year or so.

Luckily, this is the case in quite a few positions for the Bengals:
- WR (Higgins and/or Boyd)
- RB (Mixon)
- OT (Williams, Collins?)
- TE (Hurst)
- DE (Hendrickson)
- DT (Reader)
- LB (Pratt, Wilson)
- CB (Awuzie)
- Safety (Bates/Bell - I expect Hill will take one of the spots)

FA this March will knock some of these positions off the list, more easily showing where the Bengals might address the early rounds of the draft.
