18, 50, & 82 vs 
11, 43, & 75. 

You can get a first round dropper at 43 and a 2nd round dropper at 75, and so on. But in the bottom half of the round it is much less likely. 

Our needs going into FA: 

1) WR2 (Higgins FA) 
-------------
2) RG (Cappa upgrade) 
3) DT/NT1 (BJ Hill FA) 
4) DE2 (Hubbard upgrade) 
5) DT/3T (Rankins upgrade) 
-------------
6) LG (Volson upgrade) 
7) TE1 (D. Sample upgrade, All injury worries)
---------

Beyond that? 

Maybe upgrading Stone or Pratt? Or McPherson? And depth. But getting 10 starters is asking a lot. 

Why are you assuming Bengals just let Higgins leave and get nothing in 2025? I believe either the sign him to a long-term deal or they tag and trade him.

I do agree we should cut Cappa, Rankins and Hubbard.

I am not sure how you calculate 10 starters or where McPherson came into play. Mac is going nowhere in my opinion.
