Every NFL Team's 2017 Draft Needs Based on Analytics

Cincinnati Bengals

Top Needs: OT, WR, DE, DT, ILB

The Cincinnati Bengals offense is incredibly stable despite a lack of depth in many of the positions on the depth chart. The one place that is suffering from instability is the offensive tackles -- like young'un Jake Fisher -- who allowed a middling 14th-best Sack NEP this year. Wide receiver Brandon LaFell's likely departure also means wide receiver depth is needed, as they generated just the 15th-most total Reception NEP this year.

The defense showed some holes in 2016, as veteran middle linebacker Rey Maualuga and defensive tackles Domata Peko and Pat Sims were atrocious against the run. Defensive end Michael Johnson is no longer a force as a pass-rush threat or run stopper, and the Bengals dropped to the 25th-ranked defense by Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play.
