Scout Burrow and the others in these Bowl Games. Don't just take others word on Burrow as they did Akili Smith. Hopefully the days of that Cincinnati drugstore guy making a list of names are over. I'm sure a Cincinnati Chili guy has a list of names also. This is where every other team that has won a play-off game besides us uses Scouts.
Scouts would have told them Akili Smith had many on field problems to correct. Instead they found out after the draft in camp that he was light years away from being an NFL QB. Scouts could have seen what the guy in the Cincy drugstore didn't.
With the top picks in the draft every round, 2 is like a 1, 3 is like a 2. So right now, NOW, Scouts should be all over every inch of game footage of all these Bowl Games. Yes, LSU, Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State but all the other Bowl Games. See who steps up in the BIG GAMES, which Bengals haven't done in 30 years.
If Burrow is the guy, fine. However if he stinks in the Bowl Games, Bengals need to know. They should come away with great talent every round drafting 1st every round, but only if they scout many games and hundreds and hundreds of players. Never ever again use a drugstore list as if picking names out of a hat. We all have our lists and they all stink. This is where scouts need to get down and dirty finding out everything they can.
Who knows, maybe scouts could find players who aren't in a body cast and can actually play their rookie year. It's been forever that a top draft pick actually was healthy and able to play. Many they drafted knowing they would be injured the first year. That is stupid. Bengals need players that can come in and play ASAP because only 1 win and 2018 stunk also. We don't need more MASH unit college boys. We have a plenty already.
GET THE SCOUTS ON THESE BOWL GAMES....NOW. Scouts see things average fans don't, and even Mike & Katey don't. Now at New Years is where other teams build and win with SCOUTS. I put scouting these Bowl Games over meaningless Battle For Ohio last game. That is like Johnny Carson doing The Great Carnac and after some bad jokes saying, " and now the final envelope ", and audience would give Bronx Cheer. The only thing good about last game, is it is the last game. Scouting these Bowl Games is more important.
