Mahomes had too much time to pass and Burrow didn’t.  I’d love to get a lock down corner at #28 or a disruptive linemen on defense. My point is they probably won’t contribute much this season short of injury. Oline has had vast money spent on it, can’t keep doing it. At best a backup is drafted on day 3. Who could contribute to beating Mahomes right now as a starter? Possible a TE or RB. Kelcie was a big weapon when Mahomes had Hill. Depends upon who falls, cuz likely somebody the Bengals really like will fall.

I think that's the wrong way to look at it.  We don't need to get better with our starters.  IF everyone is healthy, this team doesn't lose very often.

Where we need to get better is in the sub packages.  3rd down offense and 3rd down defense.  Who could immediately help us there?

1.  Gibbs
2.  Kincaid, Mayer, LaPorta, any pass catching TE
3.  Interior pass rusher
4.  Edge rusher
5.  DB


All of those guys/positions would be valuable for 10-15 snaps per game and would make a huge impact.
