Do The Browns Want Rodgers?

Meanwhile, Burrow was balling out behind a patchwork OL, completed 65.3 % of his passes, had a 1.2 int %, and was in the OROY race until he got hurt. Despite OL issues, and terrible coaching. Like Jason already said, there’s not a GM in the league that would take Baker over Burrow.

And the Bengals OL is much improved (Riley Reiff, Jackson Carman, Frank Pollack). The biggest problems (Bobby Hart, Michael Jordan, Alex Redmond, Jim Turner) are gone or buried on the depth chart. But we’re certainly used to such lazy takes, so I’m not surprised you’re resting your hopes on Burrow going down again. I’d be afraid of him too if I was a fan of another AFC North team...

Mayfield finished his rookie campaign with 3,725 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He had a quarterback rating of 93.7.


Baker lost OROY to Barkley by a thing margin...Baker didn't start the entire season.


A lot of GM's passed on Tom Brady too...



24. Cincinnati Bengals


One of the biggest stories of the offseason was how the Bengals were going to rebuild their offensive line. Since then, they’ve taken a few steps in the right direction.
Left tackle Jonah Williams is the team's best lineman, producing a 70.1 overall grade last year — good for 45th among tackles. He had the 12th-best pass-blocking grade on true pass sets, a great indication of future pass-blocking success, though he ranked just 72nd out of 84 qualifiers in run-blocking grade (53.4).
Cincinnati signed Riley Reiff to a one-year contract to play right tackle, and he should be an upgrade over what the Bengals have had there in recent years. Reiff has earned grades of 69.9 or better in all but one of his nine NFL seasons, and he’s a good fit for the Bengals zone-heavy rushing attack.
Perhaps the most intriguing lineman is second-rounder Jackson Carman, who represents the “other” piece to the decision to draft wideout Ja’Marr Chase with the fifth overall pick. Carman will likely start at right guard after playing left tackle for three years at Clemson. He was a solid college player, grading between 73.0 and 79.2 in all three seasons, and his size and power should play well at guard. The Bengals will also eye starting Carman at right tackle in 2022.
Trey Hopkins returns at center after grading out at 63.8 last season, the 19th-best mark among centers. He’s settled into that grading range over the past three years, so it certainly could be worse. Left guard is a battle between Xavier Su’a-Filo, Quinton Spain and Michael Jordan. Spain has the best grading profile of the trio, though he’s a few years removed from his best work and has graded in the 50.0s in his two years with the Bengals. Either way, left guard looks like a weakness again for Cincinnati.
The Bengals also added tackle D’Ante Smith and center Trey Hill in the fourth and sixth rounds, respectively. It wasn't exactly the offensive line overhaul Bengals fans expected, but they're players who could pay dividends in a few years.

Overall, Cincinnati has moved in the right direction on the offensive line, but they need better play from the interior trio.



Affraid of Burrow   good one...he hasn't done anything to be afraid of.
