Bengals will have a few different spots they'll need immediate starters for those based on impending FAs.
They might be able to get some value FAs to cover some of those though to reduce the draft needs.
It will likely come down to what specific players are available in the early rounds when the Bengals come up to pick and
how much the Coaches/GM like a particular person/player. I simply would not rule out the RB position all together unless
I just didn't like any of the Top RB prospects. It may all come down to the Caliber of each option RT, DT, TE (RB) (WR)
If one person/player really fits and is considered a better prospect and that turns out to be RB then I would pull the trigger.
Keep Mixon in 2024 but let that rookie develop and gain playing time as the season goes on.
If that best guy is RT then take RT. If DT then take DT etc.
I just would not Box myself in as anti RB early if a solid one is the best option.
