Bengals are in position

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!

There lies the problem since the great run of Dalton/Green and company... we have not invested in our Oline and we still have not.. we will not compete in the AFC North without more high end investment in Oline.. and with a young QB and Burrow struggles with pressure it still does not bode well if we don;t start addressing the line long term and not with bandaids
