PFF Bengals FA Grade

While they succeeded in the  main goal of putting an OL in front of Burrow, they really haven't improved in any other position group, just maintained.

IDL is arguably worse without Ogunjobi and no other IDL that is actually good at pass rushing. Tupou and Shelvin are run-stuffing NTs. About the only option right now would be to swing Hubbard or Sample inside on passing downs.
OL as a whole is upgraded but LG is a question mark with Carman. I like him more than Smith, Prince, Adeniji, and Hill though.
Other than that, yea maintained.

If LG and outside CB were addressed with someone "better," that would have bumped it up to an A for me, for sure.
Currently banking on Carman and Apple right now, which could be risky.
