Flowers, Apple, Bates, and Bell are set to hit FA after this season.
Hilton and Awuzie the year after.

Bengals have spent a ton of $$ on their DL and have their WRs and most of the OL solidified now.

So I too think it will be defense in Rd 1.

I also don't see the Bengals taking OL in the 1st round this year, leaving the draft more open to who is there when they pick. Which is why I went with Davonte Wyatt in my mock.  Taking the big fella allows the Bengals to trim some budget on interior DL next offseason, while upgrading the room at the same time.  

At the same time, I see your point about the DBs all being free agents next year, as well.  I could just as easily see them go after a Safety or CB at 31.  Either way, I see the Bengals going defense in the 1st round.
