Like the first overall draft pick for a truckload of Prussian Francs?

...or maybe an owner will offer Mike Brown ten picks, not just nine, for the first round selection.

According to what?
They played 2 common opponents this year (Baltimore/Pittsburgh). Against those 2 opponents Andy had an average passer rating of 59.4 and Ryan had a rating of 75.5.

Honestly wouldn't hold it against him if he has a bad game. Heisman Trophy Winners usually struggle in there bowl games. You're talking about a 3 to 4 week layoff there.

With how much Burrow has put on tape against top 10 opponents this year, even if he has a bad game or two in the CFP, it wouldn't change my evaluation of him. Unless he god forbid suffers a catastrophic injury, there's no way I'm not taking him with the #1 pick.

Agreed, that's the pick they have to make. They need to get their thumbs out of their asses in FA.
Taylor gets to coach him and Mike Brown gets to decide who's blocking for him.
Disaster in the making.

At this point, any Marvin player that isn't producing... (like Andy), needs to go.

I didn’t want a QB but I reluctantly agree with all that Andy Dalton has seen his better days. QB is a need and Burrows is the man. Fix the line Mikey so Burrows doesn’t become another Klingler or Akili

Just tell me if he often places the ball where the receiver can continue in stride while the ball arrives. The completion percentage only tells you if a ball is caught, but it doesn't tell you if the receiver had to wait on it or otherwise alter his route.
I have not watched a lot of him but I have only saw one under throw but it wasn't egregious. His ball placement is amazing for all of his throws.

I want them to draft Burrow so I can re-purpose my Carson Palmer jersey

All joking aside, having that many draft picks would probably scare off Mike Brown because it would be way too much work to actually make all those picks on draft day.

You mean you didn't re-purpose it into a Jon Skelton jersey already?
This also makes me think that somewhere out there there must be an unsold crate of Ochocinco jerseys with a BINNS nameplate quickly stitched on them.

Yup
I want Burrow bad, he's just the only pick they can make that makes sense for them. I just pray someone can talk some sense into MB, finally. After watching the last two QB's be wasted by being cheap on the Oline as well as nickel and diming other parts to. He figures out he has to get a couple real free agents in here, if not more.
I just can't imagine watching another good QB being wasted while MB is shopping at Big Lots.

C'mon..they should go with a previously thought to be undraftable player just to show they can do it and to finally give the bengals faithful a good reason to no longer give one rats turd what they do.. How do you spell "Completely Empty Stadium" on opening day? MIKE BROWN!
Mike Brown should write his memoirs titled, "How to get filthy rich by doing everything humanly possible to not be filthy rich!" .

I know Mike Brown hates losing to Cleveland, so you figure they'll try to win that game. Which means they MUST lose next week to ensure the first overall pick.
Start Finley. Start Dolegala. Hell, throw Kevin Huber in there at QB.
I feel as though the only way that we as fans will ever "get our money's worth" from the signing will be if BW Webb steps up to the plate and plays the role of an option QB in the final two games.
