The Cincinnati Bengals exit the first wave of free agency with similar and obvious needs. One is offensive line, even after the addition of Trent Brown on a one-year deal to play right tackle. Depth there and a long-term plan will remain a focal point for Joe Burrow’s offense. Two, and perhaps more important in the wake of losing DJ Reader, is the interior of the defensive line. The team added Sheldon Rankins, but they appear short a true run-stuffing nose and some more pass-rush from the interior wouldn’t hurt, either. Here’s a look at an updated first-round mock draft now that free agency’s biggest moves have unfolded.
