Andre Smith on a 1 year deal is an option too. Not the best option, but an option.

What do people think coaches are here for?

I think the fact that he actually started in the NFL for his 1st 2 years defies odds for 7th Round picks.

Can you really say teams with half their roster is free agents and udfa draft better? It's a flawed arguement

Now anyone who has watched more than 2 Bengal's games last year knows Hart was hot garbage. This tells me one of two things about him. Either A he hasn't watched a single snap that Hart played or 2 he has the football IQ of a turnip. If it's the first one what the hell has he been doing the last couple of weeks? If it's the second Dalton is gonna be in for a LOOOOONG season.

But the other positions are needs.

Glenn was also disappointing coming in via trade to replace a massive draft bust. Our best lineman is probably Boling, which is bad. Tight End is pretty weak. WR3 is weak. We also have a lot of starters who are "ok" but not really a big plus. Most of our secondary comes to mind. 

We had a couple pretty big hits in Boyd and Mixon + our aging core of Dalton, Green, Atkins, Dunlap. The rest of the roster is ok at best, and we were hurt severely by major misses along the o-line, as well as LB and of course John Ross. Again, this isn't me arguing that our scouting sucks. Just that it's hard to say it's "good" with such major flops contributing to losses and only 2 big hits over the last several years.
