Im starting to learn toward if both Devins are gone by pick 11 then the Bengals might serious lean toward DE...
I looked up some numbers to maybe reinforce my therory.
last season the Bengals defense finished with 28 total sacks.
in the 1st 5 games when the Bengals started off 4 and 1
they had 12 sacks.
Atkins had 6 alone. Dunlap 3.
but in the next 11 games. the defense only accumalated 16 sacks.
Geno had 4..but 3 came alone vs the Raiders.
Dunlap had only 5.
Sam Hubbard got more productive as the season went on.his 1st 8 games he had 2 then finished in the last 8 games with 4.
Only 1 LB had a sack last year and that was Jordan Evans with 1.5 (all vs Tampa)
Draft bust Jordan Willis had 1.
Carl Lawson had 1 before his injury.
Shawn Williams was the only DB with 1.
vs the AFC North the Bengals had 6 sacks.all vs the Ravens.Browns Steelers shut the Bengals out.(Mayfield never hit the ground)
the Bengals were 1 5 vs the North.
yes I know RT is a huge issue. but even with Hart struggling the Bengals offense before Dalton and Green injuries was still scoring enough.
LB is a glaring issue. its neck and neck with DE IMO.
but lets face it. Dunlap isnt going to get 13 sacks this season.
Hubbard is a great rotational piece. but a one man wrecking machine.no.
Lawson is a wild card.
Willis a bust.
Geno can play at a high level for how many more years?
I think DE is high on Taylors desire list.
QB is important but the premier pass rushers are in RD 1.
Dalton can afford Taylor the luxury of getting a QB in RD 2.
or 3.
