Would enjoy some feedback.Thank you all of you long-suffering fans.

As a guessing man, I'd say that you just might get your wish.  As far as Hunt and Clarke go.  With the recent re-signings of Sims and Thompson at DT, and the lack of any other team picking up Gilberry, it appears as the Bengals are prepared to stand with the status quo, at DT.  (much to my personal dismay)  However, the draft stock of DEs is quite high in this year's draft, as well.  I could for sure see the team drafting a DE, and letting the Margus Hunt experiment come to an end.  However, Clarke, albeit in limited action, has shown some flashes of being NFL capable.  I believe that the team feels like the jury is still out on Clarke, and that his development may pay some dividends.
