I'd agree 'bout BJ Hill; concerns about age can be addressed by reducing snap count in the rotation. But how many DT3s do we need without a true nose tackle?

It's true that the Bengals missed out on the available NTs last offseason, I think that they felt like Reader was a gimme re-sign at a lowball rate. So, just to fill the spot they signed Rankins. However, they did draft a couple of guys who can play NT in Jenkins and Jackson. Sure, Jackson is the true NT guy, but Jenkins has held his own in the spot, especially when you consider that he's undersized and a rookie. They need to keep Hill around for at least 2 more years, Rankins should be able to pass on this year, but they need to hit solid in DT in next season's draft as well.
