This isn't your first rodeo, is it? 

The Bengals have the following positions potentially losing starters to FA:
- RG (Hopkins and Redmond)
- RT (Hart, Fisher, and Ogbuehi)
- TE (Eifert, Kroft, Uzomah)
- MIKE (Preston Brown, Vincent Rey)
- RDE (Michael Johnson)
- Slot CB (Dennard)

That's six prominent roles needing to be filled.

It's probably safe to assume one of Willis, Hubbard, or Lawson (or a combo of all) will take over RDE, so the prominent roles go down to five.
If they are lucky, the Bengals might be able to find 2-3 quality starters in the draft.
So they will still need to get at least a couple quality veterans in FA to fill the remaining gaps in order to be a true competitor next year. And I don't mean Bobby Hart quality.
