We saw last year how the board fell and the Bengals ended up not taking a TE at all.
Now their TE room is terrible.
I'd like to think this is Pollack's last chance, but frankly who knows with this organization.
I don't have a problem with at least spraying some Flex-Seal on all the holes in FA to open up the draft board, personally. While we didn't get a TE, it's starting to look like we hit on a lot of our picks.
In that case, I think they will prioritize T and WR, anyways, as they are premium positions and expensive in FA, but they have flexibility in case a guy like Bowers falls to them or a QB drops and they get an offer they can't refuse.
Missing the playoffs will mean there have to be scapegoats. Pollack is logically top of the list. They gave him a ton of draft picks that he failed to develop. They gave him the benefit of the doubt and spent a ton on proven FA's. The improvement has been marginal.
