After drafting Chase, the Bengals will have an elite QB in Burrow and an elite WR in Chase on rookie contracts. They have another very good WR in Tee Higgins on a rookie contract, and they signed Boyd and Mixon to extensions last year. The skill position groups (minus TE) are damn good and at a fraction of the cost of most teams.
This will allow the Bengals to be aggressive in attacking the OL while also upgrading the pass rush. They can certainly get some help there over the next few rounds of this year's draft, next year's draft, and they will have the cap space to be aggressive in free agency due to not being bogged down with big skill position contracts.
For the first time in awhile, I feel really good about where this team is headed. Who Dey!
Full, don't blame it on the division. That's like saying we were so good during the 70's but the Steelers were better so we didn't make the playoffs.
If you have the pieces then the problems your coach. Me personally, i think that this coaching staff is Kmart worthy. A place where you go looking for bargains when it comes to coaches. I can't give glowing recommendations of a head coach that's 6-25-1. I never gave Dave Shula compliments, so I sure as hell won't give Zac Taylor any either.
I agree if we pick up some OL today and tomorrow and Pollack can build that OL then I'd agree we'll be making the playoffs in the next 2 seasons....I mean we better after spent $200 Million Dollars on the Defense for crying out loud.
