NFL Teams That Should Completely Rebuild This Offseason

Following the articles' author's advice would be a big mistake. Trading/cutting Dalton and bringing in unnamed, unknown QB while also trading Green and I believe we'd be lucky to have 5 wins and we'd enter a new era of picking in the top 5 for several years.

We can't make up for recent bad drafts by getting rid of the guys who were good picks for us.

To expound on my thoughts, if we use our #1 pick on a QB (likely trading up and having to use our 2nd round pick or next year's 1st), then what picks are we going to use to draft some good OTs [our biggest need]?

There is no other receiver on the team who can replace Green. Boyd does what he does, but he's not a #1, or at least not AJ Green.

We should take the OT in the draft who had the most productive college career with out #11 pick. In the second round we can pick up a good OG or a starting LB.

I believe the author wants the Bengals to return to the 90's.

Being bad and getting Top 5 picks atleast for a few years is what a rebuild is all about.

Why it's a bad idea is our core is 30. I think we try to fix it for a season or 2 and see what a new coaching staff does.

Now in 2 years, if we're still stuck on 6 wins...then you rebuild and it probably takes quite some time as guys like Green and Atkins won't have trade value then.

IF we didn't have so many other needs, I wouldn't necessarily be against drafting a QB in the 1st Round and letting him set for a year or 2.
