I can't remember who affiliated with or covering the Bengals at the time said it, but this is what was said to prioritize position-wise when it comes to having talent in a 4-3 defense:
Tier 1: DE1, CB1, 3T, WLB
Tier 2: FS, CB2, DE2
Tier 3: NT, MLB
Tier 4: SLB/SCB
NT one could argue goes higher if you can find a NT who is enough of a difference maker from the typical NT, but at the time I heard that, the NT (Peko) was being used just a 2-down run stopper and subbed out in nickel.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
