But, the bust rate is high on QB.

The Jets and Dolphins already have 1 win. Say they want to tank and we beat them both. The Dolphins would pick a QB. The Jets may trade that pick to a team that wants a QB...and bam...we're settling for Herbert.

And I know people will be happy with Tua or Burrow...but likely they won't both be stars. If either is.

If there's ever a time to trust the Bengals to pick a good QB, this may be it.

They need to cater a system to a QB's strengths though. Don't force a QB to fit a specific system if that QB's strengths don't match the system. That's not going to work.

The team that worries me is Tamba Bay, Titans, Chargers, Colts, Saints, or Patriots may trade up before Bengals.  I could see the Bengals missing out on Thomas, Young, Burrow, and Tua.   

I think Herbert would best fit Patriots or Saints.  I see Hurts a great fit for Chargers.

Maybe Gruden didn't want Haskins so chose not to give him opportunities.
I'll be curious to see if the new HC for WSH wants a new QB or whether Snyder forces them to roll with Haskins.
After seeing what ARZ did with Rosen and getting Murray, anything is possible.

QB is tough in that IF you're say a LB...you get in and play poor...it's not extremely noticeable. As a QB, it's hugely noticeable.

2015 - Winston 1/ Mariota 2

That's actually a terrible draft in the Top 10:

2014 - Blake Bortles

2013 - EJ Manuel at 16.

2012 - Luck/Tannehill

2011 - Cam Newton/Jake Locker/Christian Ponder at 12.

How can anyone sit the bench behind two guys who never make it on to the field?  If we pick Judge Jeudy at WR he's gonna play.

If they trade Haskins hes still 6m against the cap and then drafting a top 5 QB which will be around 10m that's 37m against the cap...if they dont cut Smith that adds 10m making it 47m.

Because of all that I can see them giving Haskins another year because they will be able to cut Alex Smith alot easier in 2021.
