Of course we chose Jonah

Haskins was there at 11, but Bengals passed on him. So LT to protect the 2020 QB was the choice, and Jonah was viewed as the best in a weak class for OL (Jonah, Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford, Greg Little, Dalton Risner, Max Scharping, etc.).

Then we tanked 2019 for Tua - which Burrow ruined. 

We could have had Tua-to-Tee show in Cincy. That sounds catchy - pun intended of course.

I have to disagree with this. The Bengals didn't bring Jones, Lock, or Haskins in for a visit during the pre-draft process. Most of their draft prospects that year came from thr Senior Bowl and I remember Daniel Jones having mostly a rough week.
