Can we talk Joe Burrow?

 Young is as close to a lock as anything in this draft, which gives you a competent defensive playermaker for several years over a highly likely qb.

I'm ok either way. Personally, I'm more of a defense guy, so I'm open to that idea. If you have an Andy type qb and our current offense, you're going to get 3-4 scores a game most games. If you have a good enough defense, you can hold a team to less than that. And get better field position for your offense. At least on paper. 

You have a good point. Drafting young gives you a guy who has a really good chance at being all pro very early on. But defensive ends are a luxury pick when you are drafting high and you really need that franchise quarterback. 

Today was evidence enough that Andy cant be that guy anymore. He threw 2 really bad picks today and had some bad completions. I cant find a reason why the bengals should draft chase young, then draft a guy 2nd round who needs some time to develop, then keep Andy for another year and basically have groundhog day. I dont want Andy for another year and I dont want to draft a guy who sits. I honestly think burrow starting week 1 will be ok as long as we commit to the running game until he completely adjusts to the nfl.
