We don't need 4 Drew Samples. Take the for sure thing in Joe Burrow.

It is like the game show "Who wants to be a millionaire" If you don't know the answer you can ask the audience. The answer comes back 98% of the audience says this answer. Trust what 98% of the people want. Do not over think this. If the Bengals pick Burrow and he is a bust that is too bad but they can live with everyone wanted him. If they trade him and he becomes the next Tom Brady that would be the most Bengal like thing ever!
What makes everyone so certain this guy is a sure thing??
I just don't get that at all. He was viewed as a 4th round prospect, had an great season that resulted in the coach that came in and changed things up there getting hired as an NFL O-coordinator.
I've seen people mention him like he is Luck or Manning, and he is not.
Manning was a 4 year starter for Tenn who was a first round draft prospect as a Freshman.
Luck, Red shirted his freshman year, then 3 year starter for Stanford, also never looked at as less then a 1st round prospect.
I get it, he had an amazing season, but there is a lot of one year wonders in the world that are exactly that, one year. The system and player match up and things go perfect. Can that continue? Especially when you remove the system.
