That would just mean that we wasted a first round pick because QB was not a need.

The Bengals would have Haskins for 5 years.

He could sit a 2nd year if Dalton excels -or- Dalton could be traded for ALOT had he excelled -or- Haskins would retain a good deal of trade value.

Dalton could perform well (as Alex Smith did in KC) yet Haskins could show signs that he could be better (as Patrick Mahommes did in KC)

Then there are the Salary cap implications of Dalton performing well versus having Haskins on a rookie deal.

Hardly a waste to have contingency options at the QB position....
