Pro Football Network’s Nick Farabaugh joins me to discuss the NFL Draft and defensive front players who could be a good fit for the Bengals.

We start out with the defensive line. The addition of D.J. Reader is a big help, but the Bengals often have 3 interior defensive linemen on the field at once. Who in the draft could help this group out?

The Bengals also have a need at edge. They currently only have three on the roster, so depth is a definite concern, but you can never have enough guys who can rush the passer. Nick tells us about some talented players in this year’s draft who would be a great fit for the Bengals defense.

Of course linebacker is a huge need defensively. Nick talks some of his favorite options at the position.
