If it supposed to be a Reader replacement, then I am not happy.
And I fear it is the latter.
Rankins PFF the last 4: 64.2, 73.1, 46.1, 57.8.
yes, Rankins wasn't rated very high as a free agent DT, especially against the run (PFF 54.1). But now some of the pressure is off. He's 30, so the Bengals can still upgrade the position in the draft. Arik Armstead would be much better in the run game and is better overall. But at least the Bengals got someone. They may not even have had a shot at Armstead or he was too expensive.
