BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: What EXACTLY is the BIGGEST NEED for the Bengals in the NFL Draft?

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, James Rapien, Jake Liscow April 10, 2026 Duration: 1:11:48
It's obvious that the Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of needs going into this year's NFL Draft, especially on defense. But what exactly is their biggest need? Are they in a can't-miss position with all of these needs? FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman makes his Bengals Squad debut as he joins Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero to further break down how the Bengals may attack the NFL Draft in two weeks. Could they trade back for picks or do something else they don't normally do to try and maximize their chances of acquiring talent. Even though most of the Bengals' major needs are on defense, there are some needs on offense. Which position on that side of the ball could be most in need of an upgrade during the NFL Draft? Is the offensive line suddenly a need? Joe Burrow made it very clear how important this offseason is. With that, is this Draft one that could potentially cost people in the Bengals' organization their jobs if it doesn't go well?
