However, there's another interesting scenario that might come into play. If the Bengals can get a win or two in the playoffs and pick late, then we could be in a position for the trade out of the 1st round option. Right now the QB class and rankings are all over the place. If a couple of those QBs get viewed as late 1st-early 2nd, I could see one of this high picking 2nd round teams offer up a deal so they can get their QB with the 5th year option on the table.
Or the Bengals shock everyone and trade up feeling like they're only a piece or two away from winning a Super Bowl, or hoping to start a dynasty.
Well, with a PO berth assured, 19-22 is the best pick we could have, if we loose in the WC round.
