I loved the Taylor hire. And while this could end up being a long year -- the Bengals have already been snake-bitten on the injury front -- there will be signs of promise, signals that things are headed in the right direction. We'll see Taylor's charges stepping up (SEE: 2017 top-10 pick John Rossfinally breaking out with seven catches for 158 yards and two scores), providing building blocks for the future. And there's a silver lining to hard-fought losses, too ... Maybe, if a premium draft slot comes to fruition in the 2020 NFL Draft, Taylor can hand pick a first-rounder at the game's most important position.
