My Bold Prediction ...

If you've watched Herbert shrink in must win games, then he's an easy pass in the first round.  Burrow, on the other hand, has played his best against the best teams and defenses he's faced this year.

This is my thinking.  The earmarks of a franchise QB are more than a rocket arm and "upside".   My fear is that the Bengals will be seduced the arm and upside argument, trade down for picks and take Hebert.

I do not think they will do that though.   I certainly hope they take Burrow.    The kids got the fire in his gut, great accuracy, a solid arm, great football IQ and ice water in his veins.  If we can put together a winning offensive line and deepen out receiver room we have the platform for a playoff team.
