POLL Bengals are on the Clock. What do they do?

[Zooky]

I hear it is probably going to be Joe Burrow, but this Chase Young cat is supposedly a beast.
Gotta be one of them two.

They get Young and they can start building statues all over Ohio.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Anything other than drafting Burrow is blasphemous.

Others here said it's gonna be Burrow, which sounds reasonable, but man, the bust potential of a QB prospect seems to be much higher than a stud edge rusher. I get that QB is the most important position, but getting pressure on the opposing team's QB is high on the priority list of any team.

I didn't see Burrow much but I never saw him throw into tight windows. His WRs just were too talented for the competition. I'm not sold. I could be wrong, IDK.

Betting on getting Lawrence would be insanely foolhardy if they brought back Dalton.

Heisman winner don't have a great NFL track record. Perhaps Burrow can be the one to end that.

A game manager style qb is all you need if the other team can't score.

Implying Chase Young changes that defense overnight is obscenely reductionist. That defenses needs many, many things.

How many rookie qbs have changed a team by themselves? Exactly 1 that I can think of.

How can anyone really end that? There are various reasons why one Heisman winner does better or worse than other Heisman winners. Is there really any value in doing an analysis of Heisman winners when creating a draft strategy? How do you really compare different players of varying talent levels that play different positions and come out in different years? Heisman track record is meaningless, IMO.

And if one player could end this supposed bad track record of Heisman winners, wouldn't you say that Lamar Jackson is doing pretty well?

 

[OregonDucks]

They need a QB, Burrow is from Ohio, I don't see how they don't take him. He is good, he has a bright future if in the right system, and even if he falls flat, at least for the first two years you'll get the local fans excited because he is from Ohio.

Obviously comes down to how much they like the kid.....and maybe even Trevor Lawrence. If they love TL, trading out for a ransom and tanking one more season not the worst way to go IMO.

Lamar Jackson might disagree.

Lamar Jackson.

Baker Mayfield (his rookie year was damn good, period)

Kyler Murray

They're usually on bad or flawed teams.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Need to trade out so they can get more weapons for Dalton.

 

[gob]

Has to be Burrow.

Props to your team for properly tanking. can even try to knock off the Browns and still pick first.

Could be the final nail in Kitchies coffin, too, so win-win

a loss could seal his fate. Can't imagine a win saves him, though. Beating Cinci should not save a job.
