Which cornerbacks should Bengals eye at NFL Combine? Strictly Stripes Podcast

The 2023 NFL Draft class has one of the deepest cornerback classes in recent memory.
Experts like Daniel Jeremiah have acknowledged this and there's no shortage of talented, feisty pass defenders to watch at this week's NFL Combine.
That's a position that could become an area of need this offseason if the Bengals not only lose Eli Apple and Tre Flowers in free agency, but if they decide not to pursue any cornerbacks in free agency. While that likely wouldn't be the highest area of need for Cincinnati, it will become an area of need, nonetheless.
Thankfully for the Bengals and any other potentially cornerback-needy teams, there should be swath of cornerbacks across the board from Day 1 to Day 3. From top-tier names like Devon Witherspoon and Joey Porter Jr. to sleeper picks like Clark Phillips III and Emmanuel Forbes, the range is almost limitless.
Should the Bengals focus on the combine and bringing in fresh talent, rather than hit the free agent market for cornerbacks? And how soon should they plan for the inevitable departure of Germaine Pratt and possibility of a future without Logan Wilson?
The Strictly Stripes podcast talks about some of the most intriguing cornerbacks who could fit in well in Cincinnati along with other prospective players at linebacker and defensive line, along with where the Bengals can open up more cap space.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad and Michael Niziolek.
