The Cincinnati Bengals only filled a few of their holes in free agency,

and that leaves them in a position once again where there might be pigeonholed when it comes to the draft.

What up Bengals fans and welcome to another episode of the Lock Time Bengals podcast.

He's James Rapidton.

I'm Jake Liscoe.

And today we dive into how Bengals Free Agency will impact the Cincinnati Bengals in the

2026 NFL draft.

We're going to take a look at some ideal scenario, some pairings of players.

And I think one thing that we'll have to talk about as well, James, is whether or not they have,

in fact, left themselves in a position where they're really going to be drafting for need

and really going to take themselves out of considering certain positions

or if maybe they're going to do things a very bengal-y way and try to draft for the future.

I'm not sure if you saw Paul Danaer's post-free agency mock draft where it's so b Bengals of just picking players for projecting future

needs. When you think about how free agency has impacted how the Bengals can approach the draft,

what's the first thing that comes to mind? And why is it Jeremiah Love? I'm just kidding. Maybe

it is, maybe it isn't.

But what are your initial thoughts about how the holes that they still have are going to

impact their draft plans?

It isn't Jeremiah Love and that sucks.

Like that, we graded free agency yesterday, so check that out.
