1) S- gotta get a nice guy for the back end, or at least address it in FA

2) OT- OBJ is a FA after 26, so we need to groom a replacement

3) CB- always need young blood here in a passing league, and CTB is a FA after this year.

4) TE- yes we need a playmaker here especially if All is done.

This is really my worry.
With so much of the cap put toward Burrow, Chase, and Higgins along with the number of guys set to hit FA within the next couple years, we're going to see a constant cycle of needs to address to backfill vets who hit FA and Bengals won't be able to afford.
That can get the Bengals into a cycle of never properly upgrading the team and keeping the team stagnating at good-not-great.

They really need to start hitting on these draft picks early and often, and/or getting good value FA signings.
