Also Bobby Brown from the Rams would be a nice addition at the NT position. All would be 27 and under at the start of training camp next season and have nice RAS scores and PFF numbers.

Maybe Williams or Odighizuwa as a rotational guy but I'm not seeing either of them markedly better than Hill, no?
Neither Williams nor Odighizuwa have had more than 4.0 sacks in a season.
Maybe they would be more effective if they got 700+ defensive snaps like Hill got in 2022-2023, but it's also possible they end up being not much more effective with the additional snaps.
Remember how we thought the same with Hill going into 2022 because he had 5.5 sacks on 500 snaps in 2021?
Only he's never gotten back to nor surpassed that total even with more snaps.

I'm cool with adding either guy, but I'm also ok just re-signing Hill or putting Rankins in 3T and letting a draft pick develop behind them for a year.
Maybe I'm not in touch with the NFL like I used to be, but Bobby Brown doesn't ring any bells.
Has he been a good NT in the NFL?
Looking back at his stats, snap counts, and draft profile, he seems like just ok.
If the Bengals haven't seen enough growth from Jackson and Jenkins by the end of this year though, BB might be worth an addition. I just don't know enough about him to give me any confidence he's an upgrade.
