I don't think the Bengals could have gone wrong with EITHER pick.
Ngl, I really loved Herbert leading up to the draft. I felt he had a bigger bust likelihood than Burrow, due to the lack or competition he faced and the type of offense he ran. I think I read that he locked into one guy a lot, or something like that.
All that said though, in an alternate reality where Burrow didn't exist, I would've been just fine had we taken Herbert. Great size, arm, work ethic and he was universally loved at Oregon.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
