That is the thing , there is no alternative. If you 'draft and develop' but have the smallest scouting staff and meh coaches you actually wont draft and develop many players. Or you wont develop enough to compensate for the constant turnover of players on a roster each year due to injury, performance issues, free agency, retirement. Essentially the Penrose stairs.

My mind says adding a QB to this mess we call the Bengals is like putting lipstick on a pig. We need to build up both lines...right? We need a great D so we can be in every game, right? Can Joe B. be a one year wonder and a great NFL QB? I'm glad I'm not the one making decisions for the Bengals...well...how much worse could I do than the ones currently making decisions?

sparky151 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I preferred a healthy Tua but I'm onboard the Burrow train now. If we get the top pick, we can't pass on him. We'll have plenty of money to spend on free agents so maybe we'll actually get some useful ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Of course there are no guarantees in any draft pick, but the consensus seems to be that Burrow or Young are the top 2 players in the draft. So if the Bengals do draft 1st or 2nd I hope the pick will be one of those guys. I really hope they do not go out and outsmart themselves and take someone they easily could have traded down and drafted late in the 1st round.

Go Tory Go! Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 The haunting prospect of potentially spending 5 years working for Mike Brown is going to scare Chase Young out of the draft. If we 'pass' the Giants (or 'get passed,' more like) I bet he heads to NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 So we virtually have to get the first pick to draft Athens O Joe. If the Giants get the first pick, someone will offer them the ranch and livestock to draft Burrows. Probably not us. If Burrows is gone and we draft second, I would trade the pick for however many good draft choices we can get. After Burrows and Young, I don't know who else would be worth a pick that high. So while I'm freezing my ass off in the stands tomorrow, I am going to be paying as much attention to the scoreboard as the humiliation on the field.

MichaelWeston Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Seems obvious to me that we win a meaningless game or 2 and totally mess up this plan. Joe Burrow just fits us perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, now Young is backtracking a bit or his statement was misinterpreted or taken out of context. Sour Apples Harry looks for the Bengals to be very Bengalike and screw up not only the season but the draft. BTW... Just came on an interesting stat factoid... Out of the Bengals 10 2019 draft picks, with Renell Wren the Bengals now have 6 of the 10 on IR or playing for other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
