He’ll sell tickets and jerseys. Paul Brown Stadium certainly won’t be empty.

True, every season it’s clear that the Oline is the problem yet when the draft rolls around everyone gets obsessed over these skill players. If we take a Burrow at #1 fine but they better do some magic with that Oline this off season.

How does Sean Payton not have a coaching tree in the NFL, but Marvin Lewis does?

That’s where I am too. Joe Burrow is the 2020 version of Carson Palmer but do you remember who was the second pick in 2003? Eric Steinbach. There are lots of great offensive line free agents available this offseason, too.

Everyone hyping Justin Jefferson should watch this game. Jefferson has struggled badly against tight man coverage tonight. He is a slot receiver that makes his money against zone. The Bengals already have that guy in Tyler Boyd what they need is outside receivers that can beat press and off man.

I dunno..when you draft the guy with the best season ever in passing stats it's kind of nice to be able to protect him.. I'd kind of like both if I had my rathers.. Run blocking and pass protection combined...what a concept, eh?

Drafr round 1 Burrow
Round 2 LB
Round 3a OL
Round 3b LB
Round 4 OL
Still Safety will be a weakness but we should still be a playoff team as long as the people we draft are productive starters.
