Dude talks like they've been a dynasty while we've still been stuck in the '90s. They were 6-10 in 2018 just like us.
No question, we hit the jackpot with Burrow. The stars finally aligned for us and we landed the perfect quarterback. So Josh Allen is suddenly chopped liver? He talks like the Chase pick was a slam-dunk like Burrow, but most people had us taking Sewell to protect Burrow.
And it's not like those two players are the whole picture. Higgins and Boyd are key 2nd round picks. We didn't dump a big chunk of our cap into one star DE. We drafted and developed one quality guy and we were able to bookend him with another quality guy at a decent price.
The Bengals have been mocked for their preference for developing their own draft picks, but that has more to do with their success then "sucking enough to get Chase." People here often crave those splashy free agent deals but now that they're augmenting their home grown talent with good value free agents that's proving to be the better path.
