Perhaps (with a new outside the Bengals tree HC) it would be best to go ahead and start the rebuild ? 

Package our 1st, 6th, and Dunlap, Raiders need pass rushers bad ! For their 1st ? Let Dalton help the rookie along ?

I dunno ? Perhaps it's best to build O and D lines and LBers and wait on next season for QB ?

Andy with an improved OL, a rebuilt LB core and ability to draft or sign a BPA is plan A, B, C, and D in different forms.  If the right QB is there and you choose to rebuild, you deal him while he has the most worth.  No reason to go nuclear with another Boomer/Klingler scenario.  That was a different situation though with an offense based around a young 1000 yr back, mix of old and new on the DL and a shiney new HC in his 30's, with Mikey running the show. Totally different.
