Welp, I guess it is time for this thread.

I think we need to again make OL a priority, we need another TE, and we need a CB.

What do you think?

I feel like CTB is going to be a star in this league. They still have Awuzie, so just depends on how he recovers from the ACL. If he comes back and plays like he was, we have two solid corners. I honestly would sign Apple back, assuming he would be cheap again. As much hate as Apple gets, he has overall been solid and would be a great backup outside corner to have behind CTB and Awuzie. 
 

On the OL as bad as they played yesterday. I honestly thought Carman played pretty well. It was the right side of the line that got destroyed. Which Cappa will be back at the RG spot. I would like to see them try Jonah at RT some. I don’t want to move Carman again. They have moved him around already to much, let him settle into the spot be seems best at which is LT. 
 

Hopefully they can sign Hurst back to a reasonable 2 or 3 year deal and draft a TE in this deep TE draft. 
 

Still need a better interior DL pass rusher, and also probably need to draft a LB because Pratt will most likely be to expensive to keep. 

 

Get healthy this off season and run it back with this same group as best they can.  

For the draft I would hope to be able to get one quality OL, two if they get lucky some how.  Pick up a tight end later in the draft and either draft or try to find a free agent guy to help with interior pass rush. 

Would like the Bengals to keep as many of their free agents as possible.

 

You would have thought Tee ahiggins was a free agent after this year by what a bunch of talking heads were saying this past week.

I totally understand why he might be one of the most disliked by offensive players in the league and he talks a whole lot, but for what the Bengals paid him this season, I felt like they had a good deal on him and he played quite a bit above his pay grade.

Top of the list for me is a pass rushing threat at DE.

For me the play of Ossai over the last 6 weeks doesn’t have DE as high on my list anymore. A true pass rushing interior defensive lineman is higher up on my list.

Move Hubbard inside on passing downs?

Wouldn’t mind that. Just would be nice to have a true 3 tech pass rush guy though who can get consistent push up the middle.  

From CincyJungle.com:

In Pro Football Focus’ initial top 100 free agent rankings, Cincinnati has four players that made the cut. Here are the new contracts PFF projects each player will sign this offseason:

Bates in #4 on the list, Bell is #45, Pratt is #51, and Hurst is #74.

I'm assuming this is an Ohio warrant.
