2.) Clarke and Hunt have been waste of spots both need to replaced asap. The fact that they haven't been cut yet is a joke.
3.) the Bengal got zero production from the backup defensive line if one of our starters gets hurt we are screwed.

Clarke has been around 2 years. Cutting a guy after two years is crazy unless he pulls a Manziel and he never should have been drafted anyway. No reason to give up on a 3rd rounder so fast without seeing what he can do and giving him a chance to mature. Clarke was raw coming out.

Hunt could certainly be replaced, but with who? Outside of a first rounder no one would be an upgrade and they would probably need a year to learn anyway to get to where Hunt is. I'll give Hunt one more year before counting on anyone who was available for us to pick.

Bengals get 0 production out of a rookie DE if a starter goes down. There simply were not many good DE's in this class, no point wasting a pick when we can roll with what we have (which is as good as anything we'd get in this draft) and get one next year. 

Finally, we had 7 total picks, no way 3-4 get spent on the D line
