He has 2 2nd round picks at WR who can ball, a 2nd round pick at TE who we were lead to believe was the real deal, a 2nd round pick at RB who would have been a 1st but couldn't resist punching a girl, and the #1 QB prospect in a long time.  That is more than a ton of teams have now. Do the Bengals need to get all 1st round picks so Taylor's offense can work as intended? If so then he is not a good coach and has shown he is incapable of adapting his scheme to best use the ample talent on the team. Look no further than the fact that Pitts, the best TE prospect in a long time, is not even really in consideration for the Bengals. If his infatuation with 11 personel is so rigid he can't figure out how to use Sample and Pitts effectively he is a shit coach in over his head.   I am willing to bet there are many coaches out there who would jump at the chance to run the Bengals and be more successful.

Not trying to be a Richard, but look no further than what happened when they played the best defenses in their division:  Boyd and Higgins couldn't get separation and Burrow was a sitting duck with no options.  They have the depth in the back end and we had no answer.  That is what Chase can provide:  Near immediate separation and deep ball threat.  If you are going to run 11 personnel, you need an alpha...not a handful of betas.  That isn't intended to disrespect Boyd or Higgins, but that isn't what they provide.  They will eat VERY well with Chase on the field.  

Peyton Manning had an unstoppable offense for many years in Indy.  He was smart enough and could identify the matchups (or I should say, mismatches) quickly and they simply felt their 3rd or 4th best receiving option was better than your 3rd or 4th best cover option.  They had ALL FIRST ROUNDERS in Harrison, Wayne, and Clark catching passes for Manning.  Giving Burrow a true #1 isn't burying the guy under an embarrassment of riches, it is building the offense that best suits the strengths of the QB.
