It’s going to take three years of solid drafts, smart trading, and being aggressive in free agency for the first time ever for the Bengals to reach 8-8 again. That’s how bad this team has become.
The franchise qb is important to get things moving in the right direction. The thing about getting the number one pick in the draft is you get to pick your franchise qb with the first pick and you pick first in every single round.
So the first pick in the second you can draft guys that should have gone middle first. First pick in third means you draft guys that should have gone middle second.
Our whole draft is severely strengthened and it has a huge cumulative impact on getting good players in the draft. We've had some bad drafts lately because of bad scouting but also because we have picked late in the rounds. So this allows us to possibly get 2 to 3 impact players in the draft.
If I win the lottery I'll spend half the money on alcohol, gambling and wild women. The other half I'll waste.
