The Bengals look poised to take a quarterback in 2019."No position in any sport is as singularly important quarterback. The Bengals may not be looking to make a bold move in the first round of the NFL Draft http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/josh-malone-jersey , but there is reason to believe they will be taking a quarterback at some point.The Bengals have not done anything crazy this offseason, but they have made a few moves to address positions of need. B.W. Webb, Kerry Wynn, and John Miller were not blockbuster signings Kerry Wynn Jersey , but they were solid moves and acknowledgment that something needed to be done at those positions. With the lackluster performance of backup quarterback Jeff Driskel after the fall of starter Andy Dalton it is clear that something needs to be done at the position. Even if the Bengals aren’t going to look to replace Dalton immediately, they should be looking to upgrade their backup quarterback position and perhaps find someone who they can develop into the eventual starter.There were some options in free agency that makes sense. One, former Bengals backup quarterback A.J. McCarron, has already been signed by the Houston Texans.Other options like former Rams quarterback Sean Mannion and AAF standout Luis Perez were signed by other teams Cheap Jessie Bates III Jersey , while the Bengals presumably sat on their hands.The fact that the Bengals did not sign anyone at the position tells me that they are interested in drafting a quarterback. It may not be in the first round, but it will likely be a lot higher than where they drafted Logan Woodside in 2018. Several players like West Virginia’s Will Grier, Buffalo’s Tyree Jackson, and Boise State’s Brett Rypien could all be in play starting in the second round. The fact that the team hired two former quarterbacks coaches to be their head coach and offensive coordinator also speaks volumes to their potential draft plans. Even if they don’t plan on replacing Dalton as soon as possible Alex Erickson Jersey Limited , developing a future replacement is likely in the cards.When do you think the Bengals will draft a quarterback? Zac Taylor will have to wait at least one more year to coach his first Thursday night game.One of the quirks of the 2019 NFL schedule is that the Bengals have not been scheduled for any games on that night of the week. At a Friday press conference, Taylor acknowledged that players are unlikely to miss the short week that comes with such a game while also sharing his feeling that there are some good spots in the schedule for it.“There’s good and bad with that,” Taylor said, via Cincinnati.com. “I’m surprised that we don’t have a Thursday game. Players don’t love it. But then you have a mini-bye after it. You can look at it from any standpoint. If you have it earlier in the season and you’re healthy Billy Price Jersey , then you can probably play well and then you get a little breather there that weekend. It is difficult if you draw that Thursday game in November or December. You’re beat up and you’ve got key players that are hurt. Now that can be a big disadvantage.”Taylor’s first regular season game in his new job will come in Seattle, which is generally a tough place for opposing teams to play. Taylor knows from his time with the Rams that it will be a challenging game, but that it’s an “exciting test” for a team that was “going to have to open with somebody.”
