Mike Brown said no Thank you.


And promptly drafted his savior, a 1 yr wunderkind QB from Oregon. Gonna set the NFL on fire!! Drafted 3rd overall AKILI SMITH didn't live up to expectations:


During the four years he was with the Bengals, he started in only 17 games and threw just five touchdown passes next to 13 interceptions

Not trying to say Joe Burrow will flame out, and I hope like hell he doesn't. Just proves very high draft picks can fail...
  

Sadly, there is about a 50/50 chance of him being a bust

Here are the all the QBs taken in the first round since 2010

I bolded the ones that really have just not done anything to help their team improve. Giving the benefit of the doubt to a few guys like Tannehil since he has shown life in Tennessee, and Bridgewater looks good when healthy. The new class is on a yet to be decided slate.


Andrew Luck - Overall #1

Sam Bradford - Overall #1

Jameis Winston - Overall #1 (Yeah...great stats but all the INTs and Tampa sucks still)

 I just feel like as bad as this team has been recently with first round picks, (Jonah (hurt), Price (not good), John Ross (crap), Jackson III (kinda regressing but I still have hope), Cedric...just no,) that gamble on a one year wonder really is just too big of a gamble. 

They miss on this pick and it screws them for years.
