I see him going back to NE.

Last I looked, Ridley was doing well. Why would they want him?

As for Peko, I feel that people (PFF included) misinterpret Peko's value. For example, Peko exited the game due to injury against the Broncos. I believe that after Peko exited, the Broncos score at least 1 TD, if not 2. Peko flat out shuts down the run. I would grade Peko with a yellow. WTS, it is possible that Peko's upgrade is already on the team in Thompson and/or Still.

Cook is still a Bengal, and I would aware upgrading Center as a yellow as well.

I would add a Defensive End as a critical upgrade. It seems obvious that the Bengals get (at the very least) extremely inconsistant pass rush.

I feel that both Howard & Burfict will be playing LB for the Bengals next year, so I feel that there is only 1 additional LB needed critically (either MIKE or SAM whichever is opposite to Burfict's role).

IMO, 5 critical upgrades; 2 on offense (RB, WR2) & 3 on defense (SS, LB, DE)

I just think Peko is too 1 dimensional. He should be collapsing the pocket on pass plays which helps out the DEs more. He doesn't.

PFF is like a rich man's bleacher report. Fun to do, but very misleading.

Our true needs are very easily seen on Sundays. Their Center, RB, WR2, DE, DT( except Geno), OLB, MLB, CB, SS.

You know pretty much a whole knew defense.
