Only way I'd bite on a QB in the 2nd round is if someone like Mayfield inexplicably fell that far. Since there is little liklihood of that happening, the 3rd round is the earliest I'd go. First two rounds should be used on players that can hopefully contribute right away.
Obviously there's a lot of rhetoric here, but assuming the Bengals are able to improve the offensive line, and assuming playmakers like Green, Eifert, and Mixon stay healthy most of the season, then I'd treat this as the "prove it" season for Dalton. If all the pieces fall into the right place and he's not able to get it done, then it's time to look for a genuine replacement next off-season.

Everything in this post is my fault.
