Ideally there would be a sell off of assets that could allow us to take someone like Young and then get a QB in the 12-18 range. Most would argue QB is the last piece to a rebuild to get, but if you think a QB is graded as Elite and not just Elite for this class you get them. 

I wish it were that easy.  We are talking about a team that is fairly passive during the draft process and when they do make trades during the draft, they sell low and buy high.  Most perennial good teams have a franchise QB.  I would normally agree start with the trenches first.  But the Bengals historical under value O-Line prospects.  I thought this was Paul Alexander problem but evidently it goes deeper...

If the Bengals go 2-14 this year, they need to select that Franchise QB.  Now if they can get Thomas or Simmons by trading back and somehow get Burrow or Tua than fine.  I think Tua will win the Heisman and will be the first QB off the boards.  I think Burrow will go 2nd.  Makes me think They need to pull the trigger early.  If the Bengals can tank again next year and get Lawrence than fine.  But he is not as accurate as I thought thus far.
