Go Young with #1, grab a lineman (Kindley?) or a LB (Troy Dye/Kenneth Murray?) and then continue with offensive line adjustments. An intriguing possibility is grabbing Kindley in the second, and grabbing someone like Calvin Throckmorton and/or Shane Lemieux. 

The first three rounds could look like.....

#1 - Chase Young
#2 - Solomon Kindley
#3 - Calvin Throckmorton/Shane Lemieux (both are projected to likely play G in the NFL but Throckmorton is currently a tackle. He has some flexibility.)

I would feel comfortable with this setup. The team would still be a pretty bad team, don't make any mistake. The concern would be that they would HAVE to be bad enough to get someone like Trevor Lawrence or Fields. If they aren't bad enough to grab one of the top QB prospects then that really pushes the window back for this team.

Another possibility is....(this could be done with #1 overall or by trading back).

#1 - Joe Burrow/Justin Herbert
#2 - Solomon Kindley
#3 - Calvin Throckmorton/Shane Lemieux

Same idea in round two and three, but the Bengals grab their guy at QB and focus heavily on the offensive line. I lean more towards this approach. Talent wise, the offense is close. Boyd and Green (if he becomes healthy) provide enough firepower at wide receiver and Mixon is a fantastic running back. The offensive line being improved would give this offense a much needed face lift. The defense would still be pitiful but this could be addressed in 2021 as I still wouldn't expect this team to be very good.

either way will not fix the team in its entirety.  Reason to go Burrow is the Bengals may not have chance for another QB for a while unless they lose next year more than expected.  If they are picking 12-17 in draft they could get a good QB but probably not a great QB given the Bengals history.  Remember, this franchise is not like another NFL franchise that can find a QB later in the draft.  They did ok with Dalton, just ok.  This front office especially Mike Brown cannot pick QB early or later, but at least picked Palmer with the overall #1 pick.  Need low hanging fruit for them not to miss, and yet they still could miss.
