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".

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.

Like you said. It brings excitement to a drain-circling team. Plus it gives Taylor a reset button.
NEW DEY pt II The Rise Of Bureaux
All I agree with, it is the only move to make to save this fan base at this point. Wasn't going to spend anymore money on
anything Bengals until I saw how good Burrow was this last season and how we got the #1 pick at precisely the right time
to add the most accurate QB with ice water in his veins that I have ever seen in college from a big SEC team.
Just do it, we all will be watching from this pick alone.
Need to take care of the guy though and add some decent Lineman not only in the Draft but in FA.
