Suh is more of a luxury signing and he wouldn't be great for the price he'll probably be asking for. Suh would still be an upgrade from Billings, don't get me wrong, but Big Bills is not the biggest issue to worry about.
Investing in proven LBs in FA would go a long way in improving this team. Devin White, Vigil and another band-aid aren't fixing this LB corps.
I don't know what good OL will be in free agency but I do know the top ones will definitely go high. and the Bengals aren't giving $60mil to an OL. I think bringing in an RT is crucial. You can find RG in the draft and maybe your guy is Westerman if he ever gets a shot.
TE might be a position to consider too. It sounds they might give Eifert 1 more chance and CJ will probably be brought back, but can't bank on Eifert staying healthy and god forbid we have 1000 injuries there again next year.
It is important to address these things in FA because what if Taylor does want to draft QB? I want this team to be forward thinking and make bold moves even if the Bengals aren't going QB. If Devin White is the best player at 11? Fine. But don't expect him to be the savior of a single position like they did with Price last season. Get him some help, too.
Also, I realize that you're going to have weaknesses in some areas regardless. That's where coaching comes in, which should hopefully be a huge upgrade.
