My take on these signing by the Bengals is to NOT let the signings dictate how they Draft.
If the Bengals decide Pre-draft that they will not take an Offensive Lineman in rounds 1 or 2 because they just signed Hart & Miller then that is a potential mistake.
They need to allow Drafts to come to them.
Say LB Devin White, TE TJ Hockenson, Corner Greedy Williams and many of the top pass rushers are all gone before they pick. It may end up being that say the Top Offensive Tackle prospect is sitting there at #11. Would the Bengals just pass on taking him because we have Hart signed for 3 years ?
To me, they need to remain open minded at virtually all positions in a Draft.
Don't let potential Greatness or an Upgrade over what we already have signed slip by in a Draft because they want to fill a hole.
Look closely at all options and take nothing off the table until you actually make the pick in each round.
