30. Cincinnati Bengals

As disappointing as the 2019 season turned out to be for the Cincinnati Bengals, at least the year of disappointment resulted in the team locking up the top overall pick in April’s draft since there will be plenty of great options to work with.

Will the Bengals decide to move on from Andy Dalton and pave the way for Joe Burrow since the LSU product is clearly the top quarterback from the upcoming draft class?

Better yet, could Cincinnati decide to give it another go with Dalton in 2020, and focus on improving the defensive side of the football by using the pick to go with someone like Ohio State’s Chase Young?

Clearly, the Bengals have plenty of options to consider over the next few months with the top overall selection, but at least once the 2020 season officially arrives, it can’t be much worse than what took place over the last few months.

Cincinnati knew there would be some adjusting to get used to with Zac Taylor taking over the responsibilities at head coach, but no one expected 2019 to end up being this bad.

Hopefully, with a successful offseason, the Bengals can find a way to get on the right path to turn things around during Taylor’s second season, because no one wants to see another scenario like the last couple of months.
