The RB room is an issue 2023 Joe Mixon is just not 2018 Joe Mixon it is what it is... The room as a whole outside of flashes from Chase Brown needs a rebuild.
Another position group that needs a rebuild is the Tight Ends. The last two seasons the Bengals have rotated a pass catching TE and a run blocking TE which showed some tendencies. Bringing in a more well rounded motion TE for a spread offense can give them more play, pre-snap motion, and matchup versatility.
They have a chance to upgrade the OL through the Right Tackle position they could go get another veteran B-rated FA but this draft class could give them the possibility of a real difference maker on the OL and maybe someone to groom on the interior.
Edit: The Slot Receiver position could use some improved blocking. Which was a big on the rpo bubbles this year they really didn't have a skill position player outside of Tee that could block and he was usually lined up opposite side of the bubble screen. In the Jags game I was hoping they would throw Iosivas out there and just tell him to block for Chase.
