Now, rather than being forced to look at filling all of those positions, they have the luxury of being able to take what falls to them. More than likely, someone in one of those positions being "band-aided" by a player on a one deal, that the Bengals really want, is going to be there. Hard to predict what position, and which prospect.
I don't mind the guys on one year deals. It seems smart and proactive, rather than just gambling it all on the draft, and hoping it all works out.
Plus you get to look at the player in stripes and see if they are worth an extension.
Lots of us didn't like Minter on a one year deal last year and wanted it to be for a few years.
That ended up being the right decision just signing him for one year.
