But, it isn't those three you'd be getting. Realistically, you're getting Burrow or Herbert, Kenneth Murray LB, and maybe Austin Jackson for the line or Justin Jefferson at WR. Plus, if you get another 2nd rounder or a 1st next year...it is really hard to say no to that package for anyone who has yet to show they can play in the NFL. 

I get it, he is listed as the number 1 QB on the boards, but that doesn't always equal NFL success. 

That being said, I still don't see many places that say the Bengals are listening, more just the Dolphins want him.

The Bengals have “hit” on one 1st round pick in the last decade. One. AJ. I’m talking absolute home run, Pro Bowl, elite player. So not guys like Zeitler or WJ3.

Based off our draft history in the 1st round I’m not willing to pass on a QB with the potential of Burrow with those kinds of odds. If we were drafting studs left and right every other year in the 1st round I could at least understand the argument, but would still be against it.

I’ve mentioned it before, but we have had at least 3 elite players on the team at once in AJ, Whit, and Geno. We won 0 playoff games with them. What we never had was a great QB. And now the opportunity to grab one is staring us right in the face...
