I would be more upset with the ownership for passing on Burrow than trading the pick away for multiples even if he busts.

Just to have a crack at rejuvenating the QB position with a legit college prospect, instead of bolstering the roster lead with business as usual Dalton or a vet FA, would pique my interest which has been waning more and more.

Roll the dice with Burrow and actually make some good draft picks and take Free Agency seriously for once for God's sake!

I would not be mad at all if they did that and failed.

At least the rest of the world wouldn't act as if we're the dumbest team by not going for a very impressive QB and be embarrassed by missing out.

If he flops.  Most will be surprised.  Not just say "stupid Bungles".

It's not just about doing the right moves in FA. 

When was the last time this fanbase got excited? 3 or 4 years ago? Burrow is exciting!! I'm excited for Bengal football!!

Now imagine they trade this pick for a mid 20s selection and some other draft picks this year and next and a RB that honestly they really dont need. I'd bet this fanbase would be deflated and really put out by that move and no way this team doesnt pick top 10 again next year guaranteed and still feeling like a stale team.

I 100% know and understand that Burrow could bust and hell most QBs dont even make average players in the nfl, but this kid is exciting to think about and he will sell tickets.
