Posted November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603030 I would take Tua over Burrow. I guess you gotta take a QB. But the Bengals haven't had a defensive player worthy of the HOF since the 1970s...

November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603037 Burrow, he's from Ohio, can make all the throws, and he's mobile enough to keep defenses honest. At this point he's the best QB in CFB.

November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603049 i hear Chicago State has a really good FullBack . maybe we'll get him. of course they wont use him for more then 20% of offensive plays , but then maybe he'll stay healthy enough to make the opening day roster .... sarcasm aside , does it really matter who they pick at #1 ? if they pick a qb they'll not do anything with the OL.
November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603054 I like both Tua and Burrow,but if I was forced to pick one,it would be Tua.
November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603071 I voted for chase as well. This defense is soooooo bad that we can't score enough points to beat anybody. Yesterday wasn't enough of a sample to measure Finley by. My guess is, that if you fix the line and get people healthy, he can be as good as Dalton. You (hopefully) already have your left tackle in the fold so one or two more pieces, not necessarily first rounders (and maybe a better coach) can produce an adequate line. We need quality linebackers as much as anything but if you can get a once in a blue moon talent like Young, you do it. He can make a bigger impact on the defense than any other single pick......then you try to find an LB (or 2) via draft or FA. I've been racking my brain to find a way out of this mess and this seems like the best path to start on. For what it's worth, I thought Tua looked better on Saturday (I really haven't watched them otherwise this year). He had a better touch on his long throws - even playing in pain.
November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603079 I voted Chase because you can't pass him up. And I like Burrow but can't see him being the first pick in the draft. Not impossible that he slides a bit. I would love to see them trade up and take whichever quarterback slides to where they pick, Burrows, Tua or Herbert. Gamble that Herbert slides to round 2? Still, at that, too many holes on the Offensive Line, Linebacker and Defensive backfield. Webb and McRae are shit. Pick up LaVar Arrington in free agency.
November 11, 20195 yr comment_1603087 I guess this is where I again point out that the guy we seem to be writing in as our franchise LT has been on the PUP since training camp.
November 12, 20195 yr comment_1603232 Right now Burrow is my pick. But, because this organization refuses to pursue top free agents, this will not be a quick rebuild. So if they decide to take the best player, Chase Young, and go for the QB next year I’d be ok with that.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603322 Trade down and take all big uglies. We basically need 8 linemen and 3 backers. I'll settle for another year of Dalton if they focus on the core.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603328 Chase Young without question. I think his presence alone makes the entire dline better, He's going to beat a lot of double teams. Teams won't be able to double team Geno anymore and Hubbard Lawson and Dunlap will be more effective.. I can't believe most are voting for the one-year wonder Burrow. That would be very risky IMO with the #1 overall pick. I think Tua is the better QB and has been more productive vs big-time competition since he was a freshman.

I am not saying who they should or shouldn't pick, but Tua has been hurt two years in a row... in college... behind Bama's o-line.. How long would he last here. Honestly I think I would be happy with any of the players on the list, and probably ok with getting a haul for the #1 pick as long as they didn't trade down and pick John Ross IV
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603334 Tua, easily. He's the most proven of the QB prospects and has the highest ceiling.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603338 For those that want Chase Young, ask yourself this. What impact could he make in this current scheme? The answer is none. Unless, they go out a get a proven defensive minded coach who would know how to utilize his skills, picking him would be a waste. Tua's injuries are a red flag, plus Alabama players seem to have A LOT of wear and tear on their body when the enter the league. I'd pick Joe Burrow.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603340 Trade down if we can, obviously. This is not an NFL roster. Right now we need 6-8 average to pretty good guys more than we need one great one.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_1603348 During the lead up to the draft, we will probably get some good comedy from the NFL beat writers from their sources on teams regarding calling the Bengals about trading the pick.

It’s not like Burrow was a bad QB last season. He was playing in a prehistoric offense designed around the bad QBs LSU has had recently.
