The last thing the Bengals want is Zac Taylor to fail in his first season. Add in that the problem areas on the team are so completely obvious (OL and LB) and that there is no way to add sufficient starters in those areas via the draft and Free Agency / Trades becomes almost the only option they have.
The best way is to use the draft as your main tool to build the team and then use free agency to supplement holes you couldn’t address in the draft. Not saying the Bengals have to sign first day free agents to 100 million dollar crazy contracts, but just have too add quality players and not old washed up bums. They took a step in the right direction last year with the Glenn trade. The Brown signing was ok. Player for player trades rarely ever happen in the NFL and who would we trade ? If we trade a quality player for picks then we have just created another hole to fill in the draft.
