I feel that is a weak argument to justify the pick. Obviously, Mahomes wouldn't have had an MVP season here considering the circumstances and not having Andy Reid to coach him but if you still bring in Zac Taylor and feel that he can turn things around, you now have your foundation at QB and coach set. It could be just like McVay and Goff turning it around in one year. Now, the Bengals will still need to draft Dalton's replacement eventually and now you're basically admitting that your top 10 pick was a waste when you could've had Mahomes or Watson at QB, or drafted Lattimore or Humphrey so you didn't have to overpay Kirkpatrick. Even OJ Howard and that tackle who went to Denver is pretty good too. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I was excited about the Ross pick but the red flags were there from the beginning.
