It's another thing to fill multiple holes accross the board with unproven players. You REALLY want to go into week 1 looking like this? 

Myles Murphy
Mckinley Jackson/Kris Jenkins
BJ Hill 
Hendrickson or another unproven player

I do not. 

This is a ***** super bowl window season. We need to start acting like it. 

Into Week 1 with that? No.
But could I possibly be ok with 1-2 draft picks being in the mix with where you have Jackson and Murphy?
Possibly, depending on the player selected.

I don't see the Bengals doing much with the remaining cap they have.
They should have ~$20 mill more to spend in FA before they hit their own self-imposed cap that they stop at (~$10 mill remaining).
I'm predicting ~$20 mill because I'm factoring in around $11 mill cap hit for Hill to eat into the $44 mill they got.
They still need to backfill the spots from Cappa, Rankins, Hubbard, Ossai, ADG, Hilton.
If that's really the amount they have, they aren't getting all true, proven vets who give confidence in an upgrade to replace Cappa, Rankins, and Hubbard.
They're gonna have to go to the draft for at least one, if not 2-3 of the spots.

I would also add - Do we want yet again to see a 1st rounder ride the bench? I want my 1st rounders to be someone who can start immediately.
