Starting to Think We Go QB Early

I agree that all three of the QB's you mentioned will likely be gone when the Bengals pick which means they have to Trade Up if they really want one of those three.

Duke's Daniel Jones could still be on the Board when the Bengals pick. They could simply take him if he is their man or Trade Down with a team that wants Jones. (maybe trade down with the Giants to pick #17)

If Zac has some say on what they do (and is really an Innovator), then maybe we will see some maneuvering either up or down given that the Bengals are sitting in a decent spot for trading at pick #11.

I don't think it says he isn't an innovator if they stay put at #11.  I loved what they did last year with Buffalo...essentially turning our first pick in to two players (and starters at that), but there is likely going to be a huge (potential) upgrade available at RT or a top-tier defensive linemen.  

We have been talking about Ed Oliver and "The Devins" a great deal, but it wouldn't be that surprising if a top DE talent slid to them and they took that player.  Getting pressure on the opposing QB is always the goal, and there could be a top talent fall to the Bengals at #11.

At the same time, if the Bengals could trade that pick (to someone targeting a DE) and still get a Devin Bush or even Dexter Lawrence and an additional second rounder it would be hard to pass up.
