Analysis:
The Bengals have made back-to-back playoff runs and have a strong team overall. Their defense is the strength of this team, and the Bengals should consider building up some depth, particularly in the secondary, as they are a bit older there. In the first round though, they could look at a player like Sam Montgomery as a viable option. Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap are two talented pass rushers, but Montgomery could be a third rotational option to help keep the pressure on. Cincy’s biggest offensive need is a running back, which is why landing a guy like Eddie Lacy would be so big. It’s also why the Bengals should double-dip at the position this year. Receiver Quinton Patton would be another nice pick-up as he could start opposite A.J. Green and give Dalton a nice weapon.
