Obviously, this will change as FA unfolds.  We have a serviceable starter at 3 tech and there's no NT worth our 1st, so it's hard for me to justify 3 tech as a need.  That's a "want to upgrade" position, not a need.  Also hard to justify spending 3 straight 1st's on defense.

As for John Ross flashbacks, do people get Cedric Ogbuehi or Billy Price flashbacks every time OL is mentioned in the 1st?  

That said, Worthy isn't worth the #18 pick, either, and I'm certainly not advocating he be drafted at that spot.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a WR selected in Rd 1/2 with a plan to have that player start either in the slot or give Chase more reps in the slot (he had his best game in 2023 working primarily from slot) and have the new guy play outside opposite Higgins. Then if Higgins ends up leaving after this season, they already have their new 2nd option in the door.

FA will hopefully fill at least a couple of these holes for the Bengals, making them not have to worry so much about need in the draft.

If the Bengals go WR in the draft and have their RT added in FA, I'm really interested in Brian Thomas Jr.
That dude looks like he'd really boost the offense.
