Any Ideas for a BOLD move that could set the Bengals up for Greater Success ?

I think any trade up for Marvin Harrison Jr (top-4 pick) is going to cost 2025 1st and probably 3rd on top of our 2024 1st and whatever we get for Tee.

I think the highest we can pick is 12... last year the Texans traded up from 12 to 3 with the Cardinals in exchange for their 1st and 3rd that year and their 1st and 3rd next year.... and last year I believe wasn't considered particularly great as far as high end talent goes at the top of the 1st.

Also the Patriots won't trade down because they need a QB at 3, and the Cardinals at 4 desperately need a WR for Kyler who they are stuck with for at least 2024, so they're probably taking MHJ.

My bold move would be to take playcalling duties away from Taylor, get a new OL Coach, and get a new DC. Then get and move to 2 TEs on offense (We might be able to trade up from 12 to 7-8 for Bowers for 1 of them) since we no longer will have a great WR group.
