We obviously have many holes that need filled in various groups on the field.
As for our weakest group overall, I would say it is easily the LBs. The OL is a close second for me as well. The secondary is definitely a concern too.
As it stands, the Bengals are likely going to get a top 10 pick. However, looking at all the weaknesses overall and given our likely position in the draft, I think it is best to go with a DL (preferably a DE). I think OL are becoming more common in the draft and most mock drafts do not have any C rated as a 1st rounder. Foster is a stud LB, but I do not know if he or any other LB would really be top 10 worthy. I think a top 10 DL would go a long way to solving a lot of the needs on defense. Adding pressure to opposing QBs will go a long way towards negating our coverages being exposed.
