Of course with some yahoos in here they took that and turned into the debate  you referenced above.

I like my son's take who agreed that either one would have NOT been a mistake for the Bengals, but he said, and I agree, Herbert is a good fit for LA and Burrow a good fit for Cincinnati.

This.  I thought at the time that we needed Burrow.  His personality and leadership was exactly what this team needed.  I think we made the right pick if we are talking Burrow and Herbert only.

However, if we would have taken the 3 #1's from the Dolphins to move back to #5, then you could make the argument that the package would outweigh either guy.

That being said, I just like Burrow better.  I can't put my finger on it, but I was such a big fan of his at LSU and how he approaches the game mentally that I really wouldn't trade him for anyone at this point.
