Bengals have had 3 #1 overall picks since inception

There is no pleasing the fan base until the Bengals win in the playoffs with Mike Brown involved even remotely with this team.

Joe Burrow can have the football IQ of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning the arm of Brett favre and the fan base still would not be happy with the pick.

Now that the Bengals have the number one overall pick the choice has been made for them unless they do something bizarre and go a different direction. It would be hard even for the Cincinnati Bengals to blow this pick. Thankfully this year's NFL draft is quite strong in terms of player depth at most positions. No one wants to see their team pick early in the draft but if the Bengals had to have a bad season to fix things this is the year to do it.

The Bengals cannot solve all of their problems with one draft but it will head them in the right direction especially if they bring in a couple blue chip free agents.
