QB: Dalton
RB: Bernard, BJGE
TE: Gresham, Eifert
WR: Green, Jones, Sanu, Hawkins
OL: Whitworth, Boling, Cook, Zeitler, A Smith

Pro Bowl QB, great receiving RB, two Pro Bowl TEs, Pro Bowl WR (plus a WR who'd later catch 1,100+ yards in a season and two more who'd catch 800+ yards).

That was probably about as good of skill players as the Bengals ever had and Gruden could only get them to be 10th.

...then they went and scored all of 10 points against a really inferior Chargers team.

We still have Dalton, Green, and Gio. We also have a much better RB1 in Mixon and Boyd is as good as or better than Jones or Sanu. Boling is still here and Price will end up being better than Cook.

The line still needs a couple of players but even this crappy line was good enough for Mixon the lead the AFC in rushing despite him missing 2 games. If we Draft or sign a decent LT and G we still have Glenn and Smith to fight for the RT spot.

TE is a concern but if we can get Kroft and CJ resigned and add a good player from a deep TE pool in the draft we will be good.

The 10th ranked offense is good enough as long as the defense is solid.
