Top needs, starter at Guard and Impact defensive player at the bare minimum lets just say a DL for this example. Assuming the Bengals are done in FA you only have 6 picks to get that done. That's not even including safety, CB and LB. A very good draft would be regarded as finding two starters. Plus statically speaking the quality of players in the 6th round in a lot of cases aren't even good enough to make the roster so we need to kill this draft. We basically need to find a day 1 starter at guard which we haven't been able to do since 2012. If your not expecting a rookie to start at guard we're basically in the same spot we were last season. And no I don't think are 4th O-line coach since 2018 can magically make the guys we have work were banking on Tobin to figure it out. The other thing is if Ford is a starter and a tackle gets hurt which with Mims history is likely Ford needs to kick out to tackle because we have no other options.
