I think other than what the OP mentioned, the Bengals really need to start thinking CB again since there are no guarantees that Dennard will be back, although I would take him every day over Dre.  

Whatever they do, I hope the new coaching staff changes the scheme and plays more man.  Otherwise, stop using your resources on the CB position and work on pass rush.  The zone and only rushing four with average at best pass rushing is a sure fire way to die a slow death.  

I apologize if I don't have any hope for a 251st overall draft pick, but I don't have any confidence he'll amount to anything more than a gameday inactive or active only for ST purposes. I saw nothing in him leading up to the draft where I thought he'd become a good contributor in the NFL and I haven't seen it since he joined the league either.

As far as I'm concerned, the Bengals should....
Re-sign Kroft or Uzomah (both would be nice but likely wouldn't happen)
Draft a TE within the first four rounds
Add another TE either through the draft or FA

I agree this team is built more for man coverage and has no chance of succeeding when only sending four rushers (and only 2-3 being any good at that) while also playing zone coverage. They need to either use their SAM as a pass rusher (which I thought was supposed to be a stable of ML teams but hadn't really happened much since Pollack) or get another legit DL pass rushing threat (at least a nickel DT).
