It mostly comes down:
1) Did a team lose more FAs than they signed?
2) If 1 is yes, how much did the guys lost and added sign for?
3) How many offensive/defensive snaps (or ST if a K/P/LS) did they play this year?

Bengals lost more FAs than they added, which means they should get at least one pick.

While Hendrickson signed for $15 mill, Lawson signed for $15 mill, so they wash out.
AJ Green signed for $6 mill, Reiff signed for $7.5 mill. That's about a wash.
WJ3 signed for $13.5 mill. Awuzie only signed for $7.25 mill. That's not a wash contract-wise.
Ogunjobi signed for $6.2 mill and Hilton signed for $6 mill.
John Ross signed for $2.25 mill, which from what some are saying, is "enough" to be considered a qualifier.
Mackensie Alexander signed for just over $1 mill, as did Margus Hunt and Josh Bynes.
Randy Bullock signed for $1.75 mill with DET.

So it's probably going to come down to an assessment of #2 and #3 to determine what pick(s) the Bengals would get, but they should get at least one.
