I think the Bengals use Free Agency to get a Roster in place that they think they could live with all season if they had to.
Obviously there are times when they know they will be Drafting Starters like the Burrow and Chase Drafts but just as a Baseline
General Roster after Free Agency They don't expect to live with that Roster. It is just the Floor with Veterans that can at least start.
They believe in those players enough to have them on the Roster and have all Week 1 starting positions filled (so to speak)
Then they can go into the Draft with more open mindedness to look for Best Players Available or find upgrades to what we see
as holes that may start right away or find players that can replace current starters someday for future salary cap reasons or age.
Let's wait and see if anything Glaring stands out after Free Agency regarding starting spots.
