The Cincinnati Bengals will have a new head coach next season, as Zac Taylor will replace mainstay Marvin Lewis at  the helm of the team. Over the last 16 seasons, Lewis brought the fans of Cincinnati a bunch of regular season wins, though he just could never get over the hump come playoff time.

Taylor will look to make people forget all that, and he comes to Cincinnati from the Sean McVay tree in Los Angeles, where he helped the team to the Super Bowl last season. He inherits a roster of talented players on the offensive side of the ball, and in A.J. Green, possibly the best wideout in the AFC.

Looking at the Bengals roster, they could certainly stand to add some talent up front on offense, and Jawaan Taylor is a guy who should hear his name called early in round one. Quarterback Andy Dalton found himself on the ground way too many times last season, and Taylor is a guy who could help the Bengals improve in run and pass blocking in 2019.

Cincinnati signed both Bobby Hart and John Miller to three-year deals this offseason, but that is not enough for this team moving forward. Taylor has the ability to start right away at the NFL level, and for the Bengals, this team needs to be built up front, on both sides of the ball.
