At DT, 3 of the 4 guys we have are either NT types eith linited pass rush skills (Slaton, Jackson) or a DT who gradesout better vs the run than pass (Hill) or whose strengths/traits point to more of a run stopper (Jenkins). 

We had a lot holes to plug in the offseason (OGx2, DE, run stopping DT, pass rushing DT, S, TE1, RB2, LB). 

We chose to let Pratt walk & doubled/tripled down on some spots (G: Fairchild/Patrick; DE: Ossai/Stewart/Sample, LB: Knight/Burks/Barrett/Giles-Harris, RB: Perine, Moss, Boyd) and left others unaddressed (pass rushing DT, S, TE1). 

I'd expect to see a lot of Stewart, Sample, Murphy, and Ossai lined up inside on pass rushing downs. Stewart & Sample have some straight up DT experience. Tevan Bryan had decent pass rush grades last year, too..

If Bengals start using DE more to swing inside to pull one of the DTs off the field in clear passing situations, I'm ok with that, personally.
