How to gain our identity back, and then take that step forward (full offseason plan)

[CincyWestside]

My full offseason plan:

After the Patriots' playoff run ends, see if it's possible to get Josh McDaniels for Head Coach (pipe dream, I know).

Bengals FA's:
Sign Whitworth to 2 year deal
Sign Winston to 2 year deal
Sign Kirkpatrick to 3 year deal
Sign LaFell to 2 year deal
Sign Burkhead to 2 year deal

Wait and see (price on FA goes down if not signed):
Zeitler
Peerman
Peko (for backup position and mentorship for younger players)

Current Team Moves:
Cut Jeremy Hill
Trade McCarron (if 3rd round or higher)
Cut Karlos Dansby
Cut Michael Johnson

Draft:
1st: DL/DE - Derek Barnett or one of the Alabama guys (Allen or Williams)
*if DL/DE's are drafted early and we miss on those guys, then I'd draft Rueben Foster
2nd: C - I've read that the LSU center and the OSU center are tops in the draft. So get either one of them.
3rd: LB or DL - depending on the first round pick
4th through 7th - address needs based on best available
UDFA: Kicker and long snapper
**Trading McCarron can also add another 3rd rounder or higher.

Training Camp: do everything possible to avoid injuries, especially to high-profile draft picks.
