Bengals Land Dexter Lawrence, Shake Up AFC North

0:00On April 20th, the Bengals just landed Dexter Lawrence in a massive trade, shaking up their defensive line and the whole AFC North picture. This interior beast fills a glaring hole, totally revamping their depth chart and draft plans heading into the offseason. Before Lawrence showed up, that spot was a weak link. B.J. Hill battled injuries last year, T.J. Sladen underperformed and recent picks like Chris Jenkins. And McKinley Jackson faced real heat. The team even signed Jonathan Allen to bolster the rotation, ramping up the competition. Now Sladen and Jackson sit squarely as cut candidates, with cap savings making Sladen the easier move if push comes to shove. Jackson already requested a trade last season, after barely seeing the field, so his seats scorching. Jenkins looks safe for now as a second rounder who can soak up wisdom from Lawrence, Allen and Hill. The new depth chart stacks, D.L. with Lawrence, Sladen, Jenkins and Jefferson on one side, Hill, Allen, Jackson and Cross on the other, plus edges like Miles Murphy and Cedric Johnson.
