Bengals have re-signed free agent TE Drew Sample to a one-year contract.

Good. Wilcox could still be resigned also.  There is still Brandon Allen and 3 DB's that top the list of Bengals they could resign and have in 2023. 

As for The Draft, Bengals have lost a lot of DB's, especially if they don't resign any of the 3 DB's they could still resign.  So DB is going to be a huge Needs position in the draft, and it could very well be that the Best Available Athlete when Bengals finally pick is a DB. With Bengals playing 5 or 6 DB's a lot, they better have players to take the field and depth on the bench.  A top Pick DB might be a good replacement for Bates as far as the combo of Youth and Talent. 

Sample can flat out Block. Needs to catch more, but on Blocking he is a Kittle type, Sample can Block.  If he ever gets rid of the drops, and catches more, he would be a good TE.
