Full rebuild or play their hearts out and win a lower draft pick

[*psychdoctor*]

If the Bengals win this week, hence 1-4, in their minds they might think that they should be 3-2 and go all out the rest of the way. I expect nothing less from Taylor and the players.

What worries me is that the team will win just enough games to miss out on the talent necessary to significantly alter the projected course of becoming cellar dwellers of the AFCN. My hope is that the Bengals are in the top 3 picks of 2020 draft. Additionally, if they do have the top pick for 2020, I hope it doesn't back them in a corner to take a QB but it might. OT Thomas sure would look nice in a Bengal uniform.
