State of the Bengals: Running Back

However, I don't see the Bengals drafting him and nor do I think they should. And here's why:

Our front 4 has been struggling lately. Outside of Dunlap and Atkins, who do we have? MJ, a guy who hasn't made impact plays and struggles to finish plays. Hunt and Clarke? Peko might be done. Billings is a hopeful, but we don't know what we have in him. And all our other DTs get hurt and end up missing weeks.

Give me Barnett, Allen, Taco, or McDowell.

Then throw in our LB issues. Dansby and Maualuga need to go. I know Burfict is good and many are hopeful for Vigil, but there's still a need there. Throw in Foster or Cunningham to instantly upgrade the position.

I'm not happy with our running game, but I'd give it another year. Especially if they don't start Ogbuehi.

Plus, I like Saquon Barkley more than Fournette and Cook. So I'dr ather take him next year personally.

Good points.....but no guarantee those guys are still there since we managed to screw up our draft position Sunday.  This cat is a baller.....I used to cuss Jimbo Fischer for not giving him enough touches his freshman year...lol.  Devonta Freeman is having a nice go of it in Atlanta.....Cook is three times the back Freeman is....and I wanted him.  If he's there......I'd take him.  I may be wrong....but I think he is a talent you just don't pass on if you can get him. I was right about Freeman. Heck.....he may not be around at 9.
