Although I believe in the years the team can go "all in" they need to try and hit a year one
I mean if we use the last several years as examples then when Chase was picked is the only year the Bengals had a real good season. When drafting future starters, meh.
There are lots of holes to fill this year.
Chase hit & impacted the Team like a Bolt of Lightening. (81 catches for 1,455 yards & 13 tds)
Looking at the 2024 Draft it seems like TE Brock Bowers might offer an impact in his rookie season
A receiver with 4.33 speed like Brian Thomas Jr might offer some rookie year impact with Boyd leaving.
An OT option may become needed with older Trent Brown being an injury risk.
A DT like Byron Murphy II could impact some by rotating in and if an injury were to occur within that Group.
A Top Corner could work his way into production as the season progresses & give a Boost to that Group
A DE like Laiatu Latu may be nice to have to rotate in but that Group is fairly deep. If Latu is very good it could help some.
*Getting a Star Caliber 1st round player that is hard to keep off the Field would be a Nice problem to have.
