Be a three-year starter
Be a senior in college
Graduate from college
Start 30 games
Win 23 games
Post a 2:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio
Compete at least 60-percent of passes thrown
Burrow has 5 of the 7 though the last 2 he only did for one year so I am not sure how they count that one but we will give him 5
Tua if he comes out this year will have 5, not a Sr. and graduate
Herbert would fit the bill for all 7 categories ( I am assuming he is graduating?)
Love gets 5 of 7...no graduation, not a Sr.
I personally see an upside to trading that number one pick and getting as many picks as possible for this draft...I like Burrow but I am just not sold on him being THE GUY after just one year....Tua is a huge ???? and may even go back to BAMA.....Herbert may be the guy, meets all the criteria and would be a top 10 draftee, just not #1.......Love is the flyer, maybe as late as 3-4th round.....There are others to consider, Fromm, Eason, Newman, Mond and so on.
I would not be unhappy if we trade the pick....To Miami (No 5, 24 and 37, trade value is correct for this)...Draft Herbert at 5....fill OL and LBer spots with the other 1st and 2-2nd round picks....This team needs a lot of help and players....If they live by the draft and not Free Agency and this team wants to turn it over then it needs to be done....The only threat I see to this is the Raiders, they want a QB and have stated they want to move up and they have the capital with 2 1st rounders.
I would like to see the Bengals turn some heads on draft day or prior...Make some moves....Worse case scenario is you get the picks, draft some solid OL and LBer and get your QB in the 2nd or 3rd round to sit behind Dalton for one more year. There are lots of possibilities with this pick and I am just throwing out something to talk about.
Merry Christmas!!
I'd say these days this list would favor some guys who played at small schools/easy conferences and had reasonably good players around them.
Every year there's a handful of players in the draft you go "from where?" You Google them and they look good on paper. But you don't hear a lot about them after.
And yeah, there's always exceptions.
