How the Bengals decide to approach the cornerback position in this year's NFL Draft could be a toss-up.
Cornerback isn't the most pressing area of need for the team but an area of need that needs to be addressed. Chidobe Awuzie isn't guaranteed to be ready for next season's opener and Eli Apple and Tre Flowers are still free agents.
Like tight end and running back, cornerback is a deep class in this year's draft. The Bengals have a range of options from the No. 28 overall pick until the seventh round.
Should they invest in a long-term project or a win-now player who can play immediately? And where would that fall on the team's draft board?
The Strictly Stripes crew looks at the cornerback draft depth in this year's class and finds the best fits for the Bengals. They look at the Bengals' draft history with cornerbacks and match that up with this year's class.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
