Would you rather: $8-10 mill a year to spend on WR2 or TE1?

I would much rather take the C and try to develop Uzomah and Kroft.  Our rushing attack, or lack thereof, has been a problem now for way too long.

Interesting about Richburg.
He was the 19th best center in the NFL last year according to PFF. His rating was 75, which was considered average. He's better than Bodine, but most are.
He was better in 2015 though, considered a top 5 C.
We'll see how Richburg ends up after this year. He could become a top 10 center (again?) and deserve to be paid like it.
I never realized it, but the #10 top paid center according to salary is making an average of $7.5 mill a year. So yea, a top 10 center and top 10 TE are about the same cost.

If Richburg does well again this year after a mediocre 2016, I'd let Eifert walk in favor of Richburg and either roll with Kroft/Uzomah as TE1 or draft a TE on Day 2 of the draft. Sure, it's less weapons, but Dalton needs a better line over 5+ weapons.
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. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
