Bengals’ Biggest Weaknesses After Free Agency Could Change Draft Plans

Every NFL team enters the draft with unfilled needs, and the Cincinnati Bengals' incomplete free agency makes them no exception to the rule. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down how the failure to add a few more starters on defense may force the Bengals to draft for need (again), potentially leading to reaching down the draft board. Despite those holes, the guys discuss some ideal scenarios that could play out that mesh need with talent in the 2026 NFL Draft, including 1st round targets Rueben Bain, David Bailey, Caleb Downs, and Sonny Styles.
