Sheldon Richardson, Joe Haden, Joe Thomas, Joe Staley?
What offers would you make?
If I were the front office or Mike Brown I'd pass on any trades at this point and call the season a done and start playing the young guys more to find out what I've got. Even if this team somehow lucks into the playoffs, it just doesn't have what it takes to advance to the next round.
It's not like the Bengals are completely out of the running but given how flaky the team is I wouldn't want to give up any draft picks, except a late rounder cause this team needs a lot.
Whit is aging, Og might get better, but he needs to get A LOT better before he's a viable option as a starting OT. That's two high picks right there that I'd be looking at spending on OT. Then there's the C. He's sorta ok, sometimes, which just isn't good enough. So we're looking at a 3rd pick on the OL. Now we need a LB. These mid to late round LB projects aren't panning out. So I'd be spending a pick on a LB. Then we have Hunt, who finally has his uses, but isn't ever going to be a starting caliber DE, so if a one better one presented itself during the draft, I'd take it. I'd also be looking for a kicker and a new backup QB.
Maybe I'd trade McCarron now if I could get a 2nd round pick for him. Unless I could sign him for a team friendly amount and skip having to draft one.
