Bill Parcells QB draft rules...

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 got killed for suggesting this a number of times....And there is some truth that Miami would rather take what is left than give up all that draft equity.  

I think the TEAM would be better this way (immediately), but if the belief is Burrow has the intangibles to be the leader you need at the position and has all the skills needed to excel, they will be taking him and not risking losing out on him.

And FWIW, I think in today's game (even in college) if you are less than a 65% completion %, I might have doubts.  Herbert is right around that number.  For some reason, when I see him play I come away very unimpressed with his play, but then you look at his stats and say he isn't too bad.  I think that is a product of some plays that the ball are thrown 5 yards but goes for 50.  

The one thing that seems evident is that Herbert simply doesn't see the field as well as Burrow.  Although I like the idea of a big, strong QB in Herbert, he just doesn't seem to have the QB over athlete designation.  Reminds me a LOT of Josh Allen at Buffalo.  I like the kid's (Allen) effort and moxy, but he simply can't hit water if he fell out of a boat on downfield passes.  

If the Bengals were even to get 2nd round picks for, say, Atkins and Dunlap, I would be a lot more optimistic in their ability to draft another burner at WR, line help, and still get the QB.  Their $ savings could be used to get solid FA at LB and S.  That's probably our best bet.  I don't see any way they pass on Burrow.
