The FA guard market is rich. They can most likely sign a couple good veterans for a decent price.
I'd spend on a tier 1 DT and a solid edge, then take best defensive player available in round 1 of the draft - hopefully its a plug and play starter.
Pratt has been solid in the past. How much of his decline is due to poor DL play and I believe he is playing more snaps especially since Wilson went down. I think our LB and our secondary would get better with better DL play against the run and the pass.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
