They decided to sign MANY free agent vets and have bloodbath competition at many spots in order to round out their roster this year. Beasley was a great addition. I don't see why the Bengals couldn't pull a similar move if they found a top end QB prospect. I don't usually get excited over QBs prospects, but the little that I've seen of Burrow and Tua have me convinced that they could both be good/great QBs someday.
The Bills were 9-7 and had just lost in the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor when they traded up to get Allen. I'd say they were "close" as they had an elite defense and they were looking for a QB to hopefully jump start the offense and take them to the next level.
