Looking back on it a boatload of picks and Herbert would have made us a Superbowl team, but passing on Burrow for Herbert even with the blockbuster trade would have been outrageous in real time (Maybe not "outrageous" but certainly more of a gamble then we now know would have been). So Bengals shouldn't be faulted too much for the miss. Miami on the other hand.....
Right. Burrow was the consensus #1 pick. And while he might not have the arm that Herbert has, he has all the intangibles you could want.
I'm glad we took Burrow.
Herbert had a more impressive rookie season (Burrow's injury notwithstanding).
Both things can be true at once.
Everything in this post is my fault.
