It would be like replacing AJ with Calvin Johnson. It would improve the team, but not very much because we were already very good at that spot.
Bengals have A LOT of needs greater than improving our pass defense. Our pass defense was by far the strongest part of our team last year.
The converse is that the pass defense was only great because the run defense was absolutely terrible. Never say no to more pressure on the QB. More pressure begat turnovers, which begat better field position, which results in more scoring opportunities. More points results in turning the other team into a one dimensional passing offense. Which allows the secondary and pass rushers alike to feast. It's pretty basic football logic. You can't never have too much pass rush.
