Free agency is entering Week 3, which means it's pretty much over.

That creates a mixed bag of emotions for the Cincinnati Bengals, who currently stand at 64 rostered players. Their big splash at left tackle has now created an equally big hole at right tackle, they're helpless at tight end, and running back is still way up in the air. 

Rumors of Ezekiel Elliott will rage on the longer he's unsigned, but for the most part, this is the roster the Bengals will carry into the upcoming NFL Draft.

What does the roster look like? Let's start with the offense.

Position	Starter	Reserves
Quarterback	Joe Burrow	Jake Browning
Running back	Joe Mixon	Trayveon Williams, Chris Evans
Wide Receiver (X)	Ja’Marr Chase	Trenton Irwin
Wide Receiver (Z)	Tee Higgins	Stanley Morgan Jr.
Slot Receiver	Tyler Boyd	Trent Taylor, Kwamie Lassiter II
Tight End	Devin Asiasi	Nick Bowers, Tanner Hudson
Left Tackle	Orlando Brown Jr.	Jackson Carman, Hakeem Adeniji, D’Ante Smith, Devin Cochran
Left Guard	Cordell Volson	Nate Gilliam
Center	Ted Karras	Trey Hill, Ben Brown
Right Guard	Alex Cappa	Max Scharping
Right Tackle	Jonah Williams	La’el Collins, Cody Ford

Plenty of work yet to be done here. Browning will be in the mix to be Burrow's backup, but he'll likely get competition. Brandon Allen is still a free agent and no team is knocking down his door.

Running back and tight end still need major attention. Mixon still may or may not be cut pending on how the Draft goes or if a veteran like Ezekiel Elliott is signed to be the new third down back. A rookie is all but confirmed to come into the equation. 

Tight end is just, well, a mess. They may double dip in the Draft. 

If they don't take a tight end in the first round, an offensive tackle is likely the target. This will be greatly impacted by whatever happens with Jonah Williams, who requested a trade over a week ago. The Bengals have at least received offers for their former left tackle, but there's at least a possibility they convince him to play right tackle this year. The Draft is when Williams is most likely to be dealt away. 

Defensively, there are no current holes at the top of the depth chart, but questions in regards to depth persist.

Position	Starter	Reserves
Free Safety	Dax Hill	Michael Thomas, Yusuf Corker
Strong Safety	Nick Scott	Tycen Anderson, Brandon Wilson
Right Cornerback	Chidobe Awuzie	Allan George
Left Cornerback	Cam Taylor-Britt	Marvin Tell III
Slot Defender	Mike Hilton	Jalen Davis
Mike Linebacker	Logan Wilson	Markus Bailey, Joe Bachie
Will Linebacker	Germaine Pratt	Akeem Davis-Gaither, Keandre Jones
Right Defensive End	Trey Hendrickson	Joseph Ossai, Raymond Johnson III
Left Defensive End	Sam Hubbard	Cam Sample, Jeff Gunter, Owen Carney
3-Technique	B.J. Hill	Zach Carter, Domenique Davis
1-Technique	DJ Reader	Josh Tupou, Jay Tufele

Free agency saw Jessie Bates III and Vonn Bell get replaced with last year's first-round pick Dax Hill and newcomer veteran Nick Scott, respectively. Everything else looks very familiar to the 2022 squad sans Eli Apple and Tre Flowers, who are each still available.

Apple has a decent chance of returning simply due to Chidobe Awuzie's recovery from a torn ACL. Awuzie will be 10 months removed from surgery when Week 1 arrives. A rookie could also be in play to bolster immediate depth. 

The front six (sometimes seven) is pretty much set for now. An explosive rotational piece behind B.J. Hill would be a welcomed addition, but that will have to be added during the Draft if addressed at all. Another edge to continue pushing Joseph Ossai and Cam Sample also couldn't hurt. 

Before we go, the specialists haven't changed, but expect competition at punter and both returner spots. 

• Long snapper: Cal Adomitis
• Punter/holder: Drue Chrisman
• Placekicker: Evan McPherson
• Kickoff returner: Trayveon Williams
• Punt Returner: Trent Taylor
