Hobson is a Bengals employee and he tends to reflect the thought around the office. Plus, we've got the same guy (Marvin) running the ship. If we lose some key guys, expect us to do the same things in order to replace them. Nothing in FA, and hope our 4th round rookie turns into a beast.

Not only that, but in the eyes of the Bengals org, they could have starters leave in FA at the WR, S, and CB positions. VRey and Lamur are also hitting FA, so that removes the third/fourth options at LB.
Plus, the Bengals will likely look at this DT class and think, "Gee, this is a DT class that is deep. We can get a first round talent in the third/fourth! Let's do that!"

Given what I've heard on FA so far, we shouldn't expect Iloka and/or MLJ back in stripes due to cost. Say bye to the fifth round picks that were developed into good players.

I'm expecting a WR and CB in the first three rounds. Maybe a SS/nickel LB (Miles Killebrew, Su'a Cravens) somewhere in the first four rounds. DT will be a middle round pick (3-5). Probably a DE and OL in late rounds.

Is it sad I'm hoping the Bengals get a comp pick for Marshall Newhouse?
