NFL.com - Bengals biggest offseason needs

If Larry, BJ or Tupou (or all 3) go, I'd expect a DT on day 2.

Also, sneaky position is TE; we saw a lot of good TEs in college this year, that can be taken late day 2/early day 3 and will be good.

I would wait until next year though, for TE:

- Josh Whyle
- Mayer (if he declares)
- Will Mallory
- Arik Gilbert

And more.

I think aside from maybe one or two TEs in this draft class, most of the guys are TE2/3 level.
I don't see this as a strong TE class.

I think having 5 DTs is overkill, TBH.
I expect the Bengals to retain one of Ogunjobi or Hill, and that player is the starter along with Reader.
Then Shelvin and a mid-round draft pick back up Reader and Ogunjobi/Hill.
I think that the Bengals already have a couple guys who can flex into nickel DT if they need them to - Sample and Hubbard.
Once Ossai is back, we might have a higher chance of that happening.
