Do players have a say in who we draft

If Burrow openly went to the team (What he has said thus far is what he would say about any player, at least publicly) and really said:  "Ja'Marr Chase is the best WR I have ever seen and we would be unstoppable with him", I think they would listen.  Will he say that?  Doubtful.  If he did, I think they would give Chase a very long vetting process.  

Think you meant Maualuga?
Also, when the Bengals picked in the 2nd round, Wood was already gone anyway, so it wasn't like it was actually between Wood and Maualuga.
