The drafts have not been good. 2020 was a good draft; but 2019 was not.
If you want to be an optimist the drafts are getting better.

The absolute worst thing the Bengals could do is "one more year" of the status quo. They either have to fully commit to Taylor or clean house. And by fully commit, I mean fire Duke and give Zac say on who runs the player personnel department. Extend his contract by a year or two so that if he wants to fire Lou and Turner (he should), potential replacements know there is job security. Who is going to take the DC job if they are worried Zac and his staff will be gone in a year anyway? That's just not realistic. So go all in on Zac or cut bait. The job is infinitely more attractive than two years ago because the quarterback is in place, so there shouldn't be the need to take a chance on a guy who isn't ready yet again.
Personally, I'd jettison both Duke and Zac. But we know that's not going to happen.
What's the point in ditching Zac if you're keeping the person who appointed him?
