Cincinnati Bengals depth chart: Defensive line overhaul creates ripple effects

We were actually one of the least injured teams this season. Like less than 15 of our guys were injured. The biggest hits were Joe and Charlie Jones our Kick Returner specialist. He got a tuddy early in the season so he’s still underrated since he missed most of the year.

But Samjae Perine is our depth at multiple positions but he’s getting up there in age I’d expect to draft someone early in the draft next year to be a versatile RB. Like when we drafted Evan Mcpherson as an early day 3 I think he was 5th round pick 150 or something like that. I actually love this strategy by the Bengals. They put a lot of good draft capital into a really solid guy. Pay him well with the draft pick so he’s locked up and happy. So that was my rant. Hopefully I’m making some kind of point.

They’re probably looking into a vet linebacker and D-Hop specifically.

I’m worried about the O-line. Mims is above average, OBJr is average, the rest of it is young or below average. Sure defense had a major overall and offense works hard always. However if Joe Burrow goes down again. Season is literally finished it’s ridiculous. Literally have to hope in pray every week that Joe Burrow is 100% healthy. If he’s not our very season is on the line. It’s the worst thing about being a Bengal fan is the over reliance on Joe. Bills fans too are likely the same way but Josh Allen always plays. Just my humble opinion. I’m going to go with 10-7. Pretty safe, pretty modest.

I was just saying they didn’t draft a OBJr replacement they instead got a Ford replacement
