Take this article, for example. From Pro Football Network in November.

They have DT without a true impact player at the top (BJ Hill is #4).

They say TE is the weakest position group, and have Gesicki #1.

Higgins is the #1 WR and #1 overall.

It seems like the retaining our own guys and/or the draft is clearly the way to go at DT, WR2, and TE.

Now, there are some options if we want to big game hunting at IOL and S. But not a lot.

Trey Smith (KC) and James Daniels (Pitt) are both top 15 guards in their prime. Though better run blockers than pass protectors. Zeitler is 34 but grades out at 90 at PFF. Will Fries (Indy) is more balanced. Fries (broken leg) and Daniels (Achilles) are both coming off injury.

The Bengals definitely have a lengthy needs list, as far as getting back to a Superbowl quality roster. Can they make all of those moves happen, probably not. But if they even made 3 or 4 of them happen, it would go a long way. (provided that Hill and Turner return to form and play the way they were prior to injury)
