The hype train is insane, especially for a guy with only 1 year of great production, prior to that he was average at best.
I just see this as a missed opportunity to do something different and load up the roster, cause we aren't going to be active in FA, you have to know that. So if you only will build a team through the draft, get as many picks as you can to hopefully miss on fewer.
That is it 100%
I've said in other threads, if before the draft starts, the Bengals have signed a top tier LB who can cover and brought in another O-lineman or two that are not dumpster dives, then draft Burrow. Roll the dice, but the Mike Brown method is, build through the draft only.
So, I see a chance to turn 1 pick into 4 or 5 picks, and with how this team does business, I feel like you have to take that shot to get the most picks, unless they will get active in FA.
I'm with you on the Bengal Way fears. Burrow is such a prominent figure in the national media that he provides them with an opportunity to Bengal on in free agency and team building.
If the team is going to have their typical patience bordering on apathy and unwillingness to be active in acquiring better players, I'd take quantity over 1 guy if the quantity being offered was 3 firsts plus.
