Cincy has a good center field guy in Jessie Bates that has the range to handle single high duties easily. I would like them to add a guy that can play cover 2, overhang, box, nickle corner, off the edge on the line etc..

Personally, they need to address LB in FA.  Simmons is the only one that checks all the boxes, and he's probably going Top 5 now.  Murray is the only other one I would consider on Day 2.  Everyone else has experience or injury flags.  Even if you take one, the likelihood that any of them will be a Day 1 quality starter isn't good.  Pratt should improve in year 2 and Vigil is a serviceable #3 if reupped.  

Williams isn't bad, but he can definitely be upgraded over.  If a guy like Delpit falls to us in 2, I'd be happy with them as the pick.
