Someone please give me something positive about it although i fear there is nothing.

Your concern is valid, but there are only so many draft picks unless the Bengals are willing to trade people/picks to get more Rd 1/2 picks.
They need a new QB, OL, and LB. If the Bengals are not active in FA and don't acquire additional picks, one of those will have to come in the 3rd round.

Looking at the FA crop, there should be some (very) good LBs and a couple good OL to go after in FA. However, we've seen in the past that they will only spend up to a certain limit so that likely limits the candidates to bring in.

Personally, I think they should get 1 really good OL and 1 really good LB in FA, as they will have the money whether they cut Dalton or not. Then get QB and another OL in the draft.
