This is what irritates me about the Bengals

Post Draft euphoria will set in on Fans once again (even more so this year if Burrow is Drafted) which will help fans forget the likely no bold moves in Free Agency.

Mike is in the Cat Bird Seat and with the number one overall pick in each round he will be even more Draft focused this year than Free Agency focused.

Absolutely, he can use Burrow to sell tickets and it is already working.

The hype on this board alone, people predicting 9 wins cause of Burrow and comparing him to Montana.... then around week 9 when we have 1 or 2 wins it'll be time to say if only we had this FA or that FA or this injured player back. 

Mike isn't dumb, he actually knows how to make $$$, and that is the only goal. Wins are a nice thing to fall into...but not his priority.
