If we get the 1st pick in the draft, and we do get J.B, what back up QB will be keep, R. Finley, who stands at 6'4, or do we keep J. Dolegala, at 6'7 ? I would stick with the taller QB, J. Dolegala.
Instead of the players let's take a look at the coaches. First and foremost ZT cannot call offensive plays going into next season. He should hand the rein over to Callahan or hire a new offensive coordinator.
As for the players; time to review the tape and see who to keep and who to let go. Players with 1 year left on contracts that are not playing up to snuff should be traded. Players who are often injured should be traded or not resigned. I would than review the tape of all FA to see who would help the team and fit the scheme. Bring in whoever the Bengals can that is a top tier FA that is willing to sign. From there look over the roster and see what holes exist and bring in second tier FA to help fill some of those holes. From there I would use the draft and draft the best available player. Than use the college FA to bring in additional bodies for camp. I would also look at the waiver wire / FA again to see who was let go after the draft or who may be up for trade block and bring in anyone that fits the scheme and can help the team win.
This would help setup the team for next year.
If Callahan is no better than ZT at play calling or if ZT continues to call plays I feel what we see this year is probably what we will get next year.
