Mike Hilton to the Bengals

They have a lot of money on the defense right now. Replacing what was leaving and hoping Reader, Atkins, Waynes and Tupou come back and produce while Wilson, ADG and Pratt continue to develop is the way to improve this defense.

They still need a pass rusher, which we can get in the draft. But my point is this free agency period tells me "OT/OT in rounds 1 and 2"

They need two pass rushers, but they can both come in the draft. Hubbard doesn't offer enough of a pass rush, but he's real good against the run.
Even if Atkins is back to form, he's a stopgap for just a year or two at this point.

Let's say though that they go OL in Rds 1 and 2.
Then they could go DE and DT in Rds 3 and 4. The DL added would get to be part of a rotation, but not forced to start.

I bring this up because I think people need to prepare themselves for another underwhelming season where the Bengals may not make the playoffs, but may improve on their win total by a couple. It'd be progress, but it'd be slow.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
