Quietly, the Bengals need more talent in the defensive secondary. Shawn Williams is passable next to Jessie Bates but Darqueze Dennard is a free agent and William Jackson could be one soon.

Brooks isn’t starter material if he’s falling to 160. But he’s the sort of chess piece coaches can deploy situationally as soon as possible, besides the special-teams boon.
