Are the Bengals better today than before free agency

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I think we are worse off if you just look at FA moves, but only marginally. Considering guys returning to play who missed huge chunks/all of last year (Reader, Waynes, Hubbard, Tupou, etc) we'll be better. And FA is not over yet. Nor is the draft.

QB = up. Healthy Burrow. Allen > Finley.
RB = up. Same cast. Healthy Mixon.
WR = down. No additions. Green, Ross, & Erickson gone.
TE = up. CJ OK is more up than losing Carter. IF CJ is OK
OL = up. Reiff > Hart. Spain + XSF = Jordan not starting
DT = up. Reader, Tupou & Wren back. Jobi > 2020 Geno.
DE = down. Lawson > Hendrickson. Close, though.
LB = down. Bynes gone.
CB = Up. WJ3 > Waynes. But Awuzie > Sims. Hilton > Alexander. + Apple.
S = down. Smidge. Williams gone.
P & LS & KR = same. Huber, Harris, B. Wilson
PK & PR =???. Hopefully Randy & Erickson upgrades coming.
