Every other NFL team has scouts and they do scout the Bowl Games. If the Bengals don't scout these players, then it makes no difference where they pick on the draft.

Lets not just look at pick #1. How about pick #33. Pick #65. Pick #97. The Bengals pick #1 in all the rounds. They should get the best player in all the rounds, but that will take scouting. The Bengals get 4 of the first 100 players. They need to get it RIGHT on all 4.

I'm tired of hearing this team has no scouts or can't scout. Since Paul Brown this team has always been about The Draft, and for that you need scouts. This team under Mike Brown went as cheap as to listen to a Cincinnati drugstore guy, and just what in the hell did he know from inside his drugstore. They might as well have been asking a guy at White Castle or Skyline. I'm tired of hearing the lousy excuse that this team can't be expected to scout. Every other team does.

I also add that Burrow and others are not done. That these Bowl games are not just another game. Joe Montana winning the Cotton Bowl with a 2 minute drill drive showed he was better than Jack Thompson. Every other NFL team scouts these Bowl Games and if Bengals are too CHEAP too then they deserve 15 losses every year. You don't go into draft in April and pick names out of a hat. You don't go on just the Combine either. The Combine is track and field, not football. The Combine would be great if you are building a track team.

Bengals are only team since 1991 with no play-off wins and also the team since 1991 with most 0-4 starts. If they are also the only team that refuses to scout, then I say the no scouts and the losing are connected. This team WILL NOT WIN until it gets out of local drugstores and actually Scouts as every other NFL team does.

Having the #1 pick is a big waste of time if Mike Brown is too cheap or too stupid to scout Bowl Games and Players.

It is also stupid to compare the Bowl Games to the Bengals Jets game. You want to see if players step up in the Big Games as Joe Montana did, as Dan Marino did. The Bengals never ever never ever win Big Games, never ever. These Bowl Games are a chance to see who CAN win Big Games. Jim Plunkett beating Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, I was not surprised years later as he won Super Bowls. The Combine is a track and field contest, but the Bowl Games are FOOTBALL. You know who looked good in his Bowl Game was Jeff Blake who the Bengals had as 3rd string and only played him due to injuries, and they discovered this Bowl Game star was the best QB on the team. Another Bowl Game star was Jerome Bettis, who beat the heck out of Bengals for Steelers. ....Bengals could learn a LOT from scouting Bowl Games, and I don't mean the Senior Bowl. Anthony Munoz had a GREAT Bowl Game as he blocked USC to Rose Bowl win over Ohio State.

Vince Young and Akili Smith played well in bowl games too.
