Idk...makes me nervous that they fell in love with Herbert at the senior bowl.

We’re talking about the guy that took Drew Sample in the 2nd round after all...

Absolutely.....hence the "I hope" at the end. If they go that route.....well, let's just hope they don't. This board will crash over the meltdown. Rightfully so, I might add.

He also loves guys that went to ohio state and ohio natives. R

As Lap said, don't overthink it. Just tell Burrow he's your guy and tell him not to participate in any events leading up to the draft; save his arm for the upcoming season. Maybe they have done this already or will soon. I sure as hell hope so.

Agreed. Rookie QBs are known for wearing out towards the end of their rookie seasons because of all the offseason throwing they do. They can try to blow as much smoke as they want, but we all know that once the smoke clears, Joe Burrow will be wearing stripes.

“We’ve started the process of evaluating him,” Taylor said. “We certainly have a long way to go before making decisions on what we’re doing with the first pick. That’s been exciting. We’re not preparing for an opponent, so we have a chance to jump into the actual film work for all the position groups. . . .

“It was impressive. There’s no doubt. I’d like to make sure we’re a little more thorough on our film evaluation with a lot of guys before we start making statements on players. But certainly he had an impressive year.”

Of course, the Bengals have a veteran quarterback under contract at the moment, a guy who has started plenty of games for them in the past, so Taylor had to be careful not to slight Andy Dalton while everyone’s excited about the new guy who isn’t there yet.

“He’s under contract and he’s a guy that we really like and feel strongly about,” Taylor said of Dalton. “That’s where we’re at right now.”

I have a feeling the Bengals will screw this up and trade the pick or draft someone else

Maybe if we had some scouts we could already have dozens of players evaluated by now. How are we just now Starting to evaluate one of the top players in the draft. Thats part of the problem with this team. What if we already had calls for the #1 pick but just brushed them off cause our coaches have to finish the season so they can start scouting.

You're a lot more confident than me. If I had to place a bet, I'd put my money on that outcome, but I don't and I also never discount the Bungles ability to completely screw the pooch. Or the tabby cat. Or the ferret. Or any household pet/farm animal.

EVERY NFL team does evaluation after the college season is over because it is impossible to do much of it during the season.

You need to stop an think before just automatically shitting on everything the Bengals do.
