While I am a lot more pragmatic than most of you about this issue, I consider taking Joe Burrow #1OA would be a very safe move for the Bengals to make. Joe Burrow had a wonderful season at LSU and his records may never be broken. From his statistics to the "eye test" we all use, we all can see Joe has lots of potential and he may well become an excellent starting quarterback in the NFL. I'm hopefully optimistic Joe will turn out to be an effective team leader. He's the pick...
...unless the Miami Dolphins offer something so ridiculous -- so stupidly stupendous -- and the Front Office at least pauses to consider it. Personally I don't think Miami is going to move any of their picks because having three first round picks and two second round picks is something a team can build upon for the future. However, if the Dolphins have a colossal brain fart and want to trade down, I hope the Bengals' Front Office looks at the offer analytically, not emotionally, and rejects the offer on its merits.
Other than Burrow being from Ohio, there’s not “emotional” about it. You take the player(s) that you feel will help you win the most games, and a championship. And the great thing about picking 1st is we don’t have to worry about who we want being there or not. Which would not be true if we move back. Personally I’m tired of settling. That’s how we ended up with Billy Price.
