Line it up

1) Paying Boyd $10.75 mill APY
2) Drafting a QB at 1st overall and WR at 33rd overall in 2020
3) Drafting a WR at 5th overall in 2021

Turning this offense into a run-oriented offense would lower the value in those investments.
Also, changing the offense like that won't likely happen, at least while Taylor is still the HC.

There's a lot to be said for being able to line up and hand the ball off on 3rd or 4th and 2 with confidence.  I'm not saying that the Bengals should move toward a ground dominate offensive attack, but being able to run when you want to takes a lot of pressure off having to rely on the pass to get short yardage.
