On defense we need a staring DE to replace the aging Dunlap and possibly a DT to replace Geno. Two starting linebackers , and maybe two corner backs. Dennard is probably not on the team after this season,  Kirkpatrick is getting old and they have a huge decision to make on resigning William Jackson III. I don’t see a quick turnaround and feel like the Bengals might be picking in the top 5 for the next few seasons.

You're right. With the model that the Bengals use...they basically have to hit on 3-4 drafts in 5 years to be competitive...and keep hitting to maintain that.

That's where Model Model breaks down.
