Does that mean Hilton is not going to be re-signed? I sure would hate to see him go, I know he's not that great in some situations but he is a brilliant blitzer and tackler.

The Bengals like other team draft players to replace vets. Sometimes it works and some times is does not. i like Hilton, but due to his limitations like heim for 3 to 3.5 million on a one year deal. If he wants more, Bengals CB room when all are healthy is ready to move on from him if he wants too much.

We could also draft a CB early in the draft, but I think our issue is more poor pressure from our DL with a 4 man rush than it is our CB's are really bad. CB's are put onan island against some of the best athletes in the world, yes they will lose battles. But it sure helps a CB if a QB due to pressure has to release the ball quicker than the times we gave QB's 4+ seconds the past few years. Teams can take team out with double teams because we don't have inside or consistent pressure from our LDE.
