Cincinnati Bengals 2008 NFL Draft and
Free Agency Team Needs
The top needs for the Bengals to fill
in the upcoming draft and free agency.
Defensive Line: Robert Geathers
has really been a nice surprise and is entrenched on one side but franchise
player Justin Smith left for the 49ers and must be replaced. Marvin Lewis
said the team needs to put more pressure on quarterbacks, and its 22 sacks
in 2007 made the Bengals the worst in the NFL on sacks per pass play. Look
for them to go after lots of line help.
Free Safety — If Madieu Williams
went to the Vikings via free agency, so the Bengals will have a huge hole to
fill at free safety.
Wide Receiver — With his
off-field issues, Chris Henry can't be counted on to be around an entire
season. A third wide receiver behind T.J Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson
would allow the team to cut ties with Henry
