He was asked what the Bengals should do in the early rounds of the draft, and to me saying "Defense, Defense, Defense" means he thinks we should go defense 3 times. Maybe I took him wrong. If Sewell is there and they go defense, There's not much defending that.

If the actually do go defense all in Rds 1-3, I hope it's two guys who can rush the passer and a CB/LB.

With that said, the Bengals are not spending much on the offense right now, and some of their bigger contracts on offense are replaceable.


They don't have a single offensive guy making $10+ mill in 2021.
The top 10 are:
- Boyd ($9.8 mill)
- Burrow ($8.2 mill)
- Mixon ($8.1 mill)
- Hart ($6.9 mill)
- Hopkins ($6.5 mill)
- Uzomah ($6.3 mill)
- Williams ($4.8 mill)
- Bernard ($4.7 mill)
- Price ($3.7 mill)
- Finney ($3.5 mill)

It would be wise of them to cut bait with some (Hart, Uzomah, Bernard, Finney/Price) and use that saved cap to sign a really good OL or two.
That would help justify going defense on Days 1 and 2 in the draft.
