Mentioning that because we might have to settle with some budget FAs or re-sign some of the guys they currently have to multi-year deals.
If you just tag or 1-year extension, that won't solve the long-term problem and those positions should still be addressed early ideally.
We will have to use Free Agency to fill some of the holes no question. We have been pretty good at drafting WR's so I would go there
in the Draft early along with DT. Bring back Hudson and Sample at TE and draft a TE in the mid rounds etc.

Anyway you look at it, the Bengals are likely in the market for a capable NT this offseason, as Tupou and Tufele just aren't getting the job done.
I didn't get to watch the game as it was on espn, bastids.
Washington actually has a few OL I like, but erasing Sweat in the biggest of games isn't a good sign for him.

The only other huge NT would be A&M's McKinnley Jackson, but I doubt he is ready out of the gate. LT3 of Miami and Michigan's Jenkins are bigger DT3s.
I hated seeing Pitt take the Wisconsin kid Burton. He has an 80.5 pass rush and overall 77.5 grade as a rookie this season.
Benton is who I wanted the last Draft myself. Hate it when the stealers grab one of my favorite picks.
