Now remember, everyone who is so excited about drafting Burrow (me included), you can't complain and say we should have traded down if Burrow struggles next year.

Nope!

Agreed, most all rookies struggle. We need to temper our expectations especially if we don't get the O-line up to par.

Burrow took a lot of hits though last year too so honestly I think he can handle it but the NFL is another mother.

I'll be very stressed as the first round moves in to the 20s. Praying the players I think we want fall. Those last few picks will be very stressful if someone like Kenneth Murray is available.

Guys, when you think that things could get bad with only one person in charge, be lucky that Tobin is ours, because other franchises have gone in different directions...

Jerry Jones has asked his scouting department not to disturb him during tonight's draft.

You know it’s a good day when this thread already has 64 posts a 1/2 hour before the draft starts.

They'll probably end up putting him on suicide watch tonight.

Wouldn't happen.

Now I MIGHT make some "we shoulda taken Young" posts as he tears things up on the field, as he is the best player in the draft, but that is the ONLY thing we could ***** about.

If, say, the number one pick this year was Baker Mayfield, sure.

He is the best pick available.  No matter what, we have to take him.

He may not be the best available as time always will tell on draft picks, but 100% best available for our Bengals imo. 

I have a guy on Facebook right now arguing with me saying the Bengals should trade the pick, since Burrow is a better fit for the Dolphins. And I don't know what they have going for them.

I think tonight, without knowing the future, he is the best pick.

If he is the guy under center.  The last #9 sat as a rookie.

I hope so!

If I wanted to watch people sing I’d watch the voice or am American idol, get it off that crap and talk about football. Who else is doing coverage?

Well dang Kevin hart is on NFL . Com why did I even turn espn on

Oh, brother......I use NFLN to get away from this crap. I want hardcore football analysis not sing-a-long.
