I was hyped about drafting Burrow, but how can he come in positive after months of getting beat down by the idea of playing for the Bengals? I'm not sure he can as this would weigh on anyone.
You can't be serious. Burrow doesn't give a shit about the media. I sure he was roasted pretty well by the media when he bailed on Ohio State

Obviously Burrow would rather go to the Patriots than the Bengals, but what difference does it make. He knows how it works. The worst team gets the best player. Every year the best player would have probably rather gone to a different team, but it doesn't matter. The Bengals are not near bad enough to force Burrow to threaten to sit out a year.
We will draft him, and he will play here. And he will do his best to be the best player possible. Doesn't matter what the media says.
