The Pats are pretty good and they have been following this strategy from the day we drafted Andy Dalton (Mallet, Jimmy G.).

WTS, I believe this team is in a "win now" instead of a rebuilding mode. So if they take a QB it will be very late. Perhaps someone like JT Barrett

Pats are great and not pretty good. However, they pay a hall of fame QB 10 million less a year than his true value (Thanks to Brady wanting great players around him and he makes as much money in endorsements that most QB's make in salary) so hardly an apples and apples comparison. One team HOF coach and HOF QB while Bengals have neither.

I know AD will never be HOF caliber, however on a team with major weaknesses on both sides of the ball drafting a the 5th best QB in a draft at 21 likely gets you another AD ceiling type QB versus a Tom Brady. Pats had a franchise QB with Bledsoe and drafted a 6th round project named Brady for the record.
