If the Bengals select him I will support the team still. But I'm not onboard with the Burrow pick because most QB drafted in the 1st round are bust or simply don't live up to where they were selected. 

My thinking is to see what Joe Burrow and the LSU offense can do against Clemson's defense.  Clemson's Brent Venables is, in my humble opinion, the best defensive coordinator in college football and his schemes are outstanding.  To my mind, going up against Clemson's defense might be the best preview of what Joe will encounter in the NFL.  Joe did very well against some very good defenses like Georgia and Alabama but Clemson's defense plays at another level.
