Bengals Off-season Scenario
I am going to set up this scenario for you. And let me lead it off with this is a best case scenario for me. In free agency I made the moves you see below. Most notable, and probably the two most jaw dropping moves are Bodine and McCarron. I resigned Bodine before he hit the open market, but planned to make a move for Richburg. As far as McCarron goes, I plan on using the franchise tag and extending him long term as the starter for the Bengals. You may be screaming “We already have a lot of money committed to Andy!!!.” Well you would be right… but in this scenario, not for long.
In the draft, I have us trading back with Arizona for their 1st and 2nd round picks. This allows them to jump up and take a QB that is sliding a little. I also have us unloading Dalton and our 2nd round pick for both of the Bills first round picks and their 2nd. This would award us with 3 1st round picks, 2 2nd round picks, 2 3rd round picks, 1 4th round pick, 2 5th round picks, 1 6th round pick and 3 7th round picks. The rest is spelled out below. Enjoy.
