Bengals need draft to fortify pass rush

CINCINNATI -- It doesn't matter where Zac Taylor addressed reporters this offseason.

Whether it was inside the massive Indiana Convention Center at February's combine or a stone's throw from the beach at the annual league meeting in Palm Beach, the Bengals head coach harped on the need for more contributions from the team's defensive line.

Of course, Cincinnati received plenty from edge rusher Trey Hendrickson last season. He led the NFL in sacks with 17.5, reached the Pro Bowl for the fourth straight year and was one of the team's first All-Pro selections in nine years.
