Drafting Kyler Murray would likely impact both to some degree but I think the National Media interest in the Bengals would Skyrocket if Kyler Murray was drafted. That could then help local ticket sales some.

The National Media would set up a Kyler Murray versus Baker Mayfield narrative in the AFC North and the Bengals could start to get better scheduling from the NFL for certain matchups they would want focused on Nationally.

Browns/Bengals - Mayfield versus Murray for example could be a Prime time affair in the eyes of the National Media/NFL.

It was so long ago, and really before social media and all that took off, but I don't remember national attention shifting to the Bengals when they drafted Carson. As someone pointed out in this thread, he was viewed as a can't miss prospect. I don't think anyone can honestly say Kyler Murray is a can't miss.
