I'm fine with DJ but I'll worry about any rookie until we see it on the field. I really loved the Battle pick because I was worried about the safety position and I think he gives us depth but also more flexibility and a better chance at having a quality safety duo this year. I also think/hope that the new additions will give us an increase in interceptions and that's certainly an area we've needed to improve. 

I could see most improved from a depth standpoint.  Lose Bell and Bates, but added Turner, Battle, Scott, and should get to see what we have in last year's 5th rounder, Tyson Anderson.  CTB in his second year and Chido coming back from injury.  In 2022, that room had little to no depth behind the starters, but CTB impressed as a rookie, coming off injury early, to make an impact.  

I think the secondary is now one of the strengths of the team. 

It wasn't long ago that the Bengals LB room was a bunch of retreads and athletes without great instincts.  They drafted speed, production, and instincts and have built a very deep LB room as well.  It was just further along than the secondary.
