Last offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals acquired Larry Ogunjobi and, just before the season got underway, they added B.J. Hill. This three-technique duo gave them the interior pass-rush they needed, combining for 12.5 sacks on the season.
The team was able to bring Hill back, but without Ogunjobi, they have a major need and adding an interior pass-rusher should be paramount.
There are some excellent options in this year’s draft, but they will go very quickly. If the Bengals want to get one, they will need to act fast.
The most likely options at the end of Round 1 are UConn’s Travis Jones and Houston’s Logan Hall.
