How Many Players Away Do YOU Think We Are?

[*psychdoctor*]

I would like to preface that if Brown is still running the team and there are no coaching changes, this will mitigate progress toward going far in the play-offs, even if the talent is there.

3-O-Line: Both tackles and guard. Not sure on Price just yet.
2-linebackers: Mike and WIL as I think Burfict is done
1-Top Tier TE: assuming Kroft can make it back
1-CB: Replacement for Dennard
1-WR: Ross is moving along slowly but still another would not hurt to help Boyd and Green
1-DT: Glasgow and Billings are showing up but still need another.
1-Safety: Bates is a keeper. Not sure Williams is the answer at his position.
1-Kicker: Randy has done okay so I am being picky here. But maybe a stud for those long FGs.
1-Punter: Huber is okay but I would like to see competition next season.
1-QB: Dalton is solid but not special or elite.

So I say 13 players. Bengals may be able to improve with 8 of those. But I do not trust the Front Office in bringing in top FA.

This upcoming draft I think they should target both backers, guard, TE, OT, CB, maybe one of the kickers.
The 2020 draft I think they should target QB, OT, WR, DT, safety, and the other kicker.
Hopefully the team can find hidden gems via UDFA signings in both drafts.
