We realistically shouldn't expect anyone taken after Rd 2 to be an immediate contributor as a rookie, even in a rotation.
So if we're wanting a pass rushing DT, they need to be taken early or get someone in FA.
Given the Bengals have to worry about Reader, Higgins, Boyd, Jonah, and the TE potential departures, we might not get the full wish list of upgrades in the draft/FA as we think should be necessary (1T, 3T, RT, WR2, slot WR, RB, TE, and probably a couple others at OL/DB just to upgrade).
Yeah, would have to take a DT early either way it seems, even if we get another one in FA. We need a 3-tech and a run stopping NT.
I think Carter and Tupou proven this year they aren't the answers.
