Rd 2:
Miami has #39 and #56
Indy has #34 and #44
Chicago has #43 and #50
Atlanta has #47 and #55
New England has NO 2nd round picks.
Rd 3:
Jets have #68 and #79
Denver has #77 and #83
Cleveland has #74 and #90
The Raiders have #80, #81, and #91 (but no 2nd rounders)
If the Bengals are fortunate enough to get a 2nd rounder for Dalton from either Indy (great fit) or Chicago (windy, but still a good fit...thank you Tannehill for showing the NFL that having a backup option if the starter tanks might work).
The fact that there could be an elite talent that is highly coveted at the top of Rd 2 could yield the Bengals a fairly solid additional 3rd rounder for swapping 2nd round picks. I wonder if the Bengals would slide all the way down to the Jets pick in Rd 2 (#48) to gain their first 3rd rounders at #68. Point system seems favorable. I guess it all depends on their playing weighting and who is there.
If I'm Dalton, I'd prefer Indy.
You get a dome to play your home games in, plus you get a dome for Houston game and then Nashville and Jacksonville weather for the other inter-division away games.
Plus, you'd have a solid OL (assuming they keep Castonzo), a running game with a 1000-yard rusher in Marlon Mack, a good WR in TY Hilton, and a versatile TE in Jack Doyle.
Their defense also is middle-of-the-pack, which is a big upgrade over the Bengals.
With having picks 13, 34, and 44, they definitely have room to add another impactful pass catcher and defensive player too.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
