Cincinnati Bengals: Tight End

It was hard not to pull for Tyler Eifert. The former Cincinnati Bengals tight end was one of the purest receiving threats at the position during his days with Notre Dame but injuries hampered him throughout his time in Cincy. Understandably, the new regime decided to move on and he is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Bengals find themselves without a lot of proven talent entering this season.

C.J. Uzomah is the most accomplished tight end right now, and he has played well over the past two seasons for the Bengals. He’s going to need to prove he can still deliver as the No. 1 player at the position which has yet to be seen.

Cleveland Browns: Linebacker

First-year general manager Andrew Berry has done a fantastic job with the Cleveland Browns. He has shored up nearly every hole on the roster, with the exception of one. Cleveland enters the NFL 2020 season with Mack Wilson, Sione Takitaki, and B.J. Goodson as their top three linebackers.

Don’t be surprised to see one of them lose out to third-round pick Jacob Phillips, the LSU product that could be their best all-around player at the position. Of course, when a late second-day pick is quite possibly the best talent on the team, that’s an issue.

In their defense, the Browns are expected to run a 4-2-5 defense frequently under Joe Woods which means they won’t need to be deep at linebacker. Which is good. Because they’re not.
