Hell, even Zak said they’re locked and loaded on the #1 pick.  This isn’t going to be any sort of surprise, no matter how many people say it is. And NO, Miami is not going to give up their 3 1st rounders this year, and one next year for Burrow.

And NO, the Bengals are NOT going to ride Andy into this season and hope they can get another franchise QB in next year’s draft.  You have no idea where you’re going to pick next year.  And, do you really see anyone better than Burrow in next year’s draft? NO!

Two reasons for this.....

-I think Miami fans really want Burrow over Tua or Herbert.  They’re trying to create a narrative in the hopes that is something that is plausible.  It’s not!  So, stop it.

-And, as we’ve all seen, there is an undercurrent that unless you’re from NY, CA, PA, or FL, you don’t deserve the best players. That’s bovine excrement, too.
