OTOH it makes it kind of hard to mess up. I would tell the Bengals organization to go ahead and pick more or less for your needs. Get at least one Guard and Dlineman that you like in the first three picks. Be ready to coach them up and put them in situations where they can succeed. When all the players are sort of at the same level, the way to get ahead is how you develop them.
As much as I like a few safeties in this draft class, I'm ok skipping safety this year because it's not a strong overall class.
Bengals can always get another dude in FA next year to replace Stone, or Stone may actually end up doing well in Golden's scheme.
Priorities should be OL and DL.
If they can walk away with 1 OL that can at least pass block and 2 DL that can at least rush the passer, I'll be a happy camper.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
