I gave this example the other day: a second round guard would be one of the best IOL in the draft and should be able to start immediately and would cost $2m a year for 4 years. A free agent guard of a similar standard (i.e. in the second tier of free agency, so Glasgow rather than Thuney or Scherff) would cost $8m a year.
You could pay $8m towards Dalton to secure a 2nd round pick and still be up $16m over 4 years over the free agency option.
True, another good idea...assuming you trust the Bengals to make good picks and develop those players.
Last year's draft left a lot to be desired.
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.
