New HC: Jay Gruden

Other than the dreadful idea of Marvin coming back, this move seems the most likely. Just hope its not via trade...

Quarterback: Andy Dalton

I wouldn't mind a new face for this offense, but I don't think its very realistic whether you guys like it or not. Especially if Gruden or Jackson are our next HC who have ties to Andy already.

Notable Free Agents:

Nate Solder, LT, Pre-Team: New England

We need help everywhere on offense. I would say this guy would help out a tiny bit, but who knows..

Tyler Eifert, TE, Pre-Team: Bengals

The way I see it is, he will come cheap. I don't think he has much choice or argument here. Kroft looked VERY promising and I have him up there with WJ3 as breakout player of the year for the Bengals. Its a win-win.

Trade(s):

AJ McCarron to Cleveland for their 2nd and 3rd RD Picks.

Trade our 2a. and 4a. picks to move up into the 27-30 range.

2018 DRAFT:

1a. Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia

Not a surprising pick here. We're in desperate need of LB help. Great coverage guy with hits that make you say lights out.

1b. Billy Price, C, Ohio State

This has to be the fan favorite this year and another huge need. Price is the best Center to come out in a minute.

2b. Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama

We need Safety help badly. Iloka has been exposed as an okay safety since the departure of Nelson. Williams is a backup at best.

3a. Isaiah Wynn, C/G/OT, Georgia

Great run blocker, good pass blocker and can play multiple positions on the o-line in a pinch.

3b. Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh

Look at 2b's explanation. Safety problem fixed.

3c. Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Backup QB. Possible future QB of the Bengals.

5a. Eddy Pineiro, K, Florida

Need a Kicker who is consistent....

5b. Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon

OT depth.

Love this but a couple things I would change. First don't sign Nate solder. Hell get 11 million +. As far as draft, if hernandez isn't there in 2, and Sutton somehow falls, it would be EXTREMELY hard not to take him. Also instead of Whitehead deshaun Elliot out of Texas is a much higher upside imo. Love Rudolph he's my qb1 and will be the next Phillip rivers but more mobile
