More smoke Burrow doesn’t want to play for the Bengals


Recommended Posts

Here in Ohio I am not buying any of this. There would have to be a king's ransom, like we've never seen before, to pry that pick from the Bengals. An Ohio guy, who played at osu, who won a national title, who's loved in the state...no way the Bengals are letting him go.

 

The off-field needs for the Bengals to select him supersede the on-field needs: he is going to be a huge boost in ticket sales for the Bengals. And even if ticket sales didn't matter to Mike Brown(and they really, really do) he's the top rated qb in a strong draft in a year where the Bengals need a quarterback!

I agree. They’d be stupid not too. But then again, it is the Bengals we’re talking about. A team that’s made the play offs what, once in the last 30 years.

If I was a QB I wouldn't want to play for them either. Them or the Browns. They seem to ruin QB's career's. Don't get me wrong playing in the NFL would be a dream come true so whoever drafted me I would make the best of it. I would prefer to play in a warm climate though or here in Indy which has a great tradition of winning, playing in an inside building 8 times a year.

Could you imagine how good Burrow would be here behind a great O.Line, playing in doors 8 times a year. We would be unbeatable at home.

Not just playing inside 8 games but add another 3 to that list for away games in Jax, Houston, TN. That’s 11 games your almost guaranteed to have good weather.

They have actually made the playoffs 5x this decade...but haven’t won a playoff game in the past 30 years.

    • Wilson IMO is too much like Downs. Not sure we would want to pick another predominantly slot player.    IMO the players that make the most sense at WR are - AD Mitchell, Ladd(he again plays a bit of slot, but he's also a bit more versatile, he's played about 75% of his snaps in other alignments), Troy Franklin - he can be a Z for us... Jermaine Burton?!? if he's cleared character-wise?? I like Malik Washington but he's predominantly slot too so not sure he's a fit here.    BTW... this guy is projected as a day 3 pick... but because of the general lack of that type of player after Troy Franklin(fast Z) I can see him being pushed up... maybe get drafted mid-late R3 - he's like budget version of Xavier Worthy- Anthony Gould.    Maybe DeVontez Walker? Although he had such a bad Senior Bowl, I'd be surprised if Ballard goes for him. 
    • While having 6 QBs go in the first 12 picks pushed some talent towards us... it probably also contributed to it being extremely hard for Ballard to trade up. It's just way too hard to make teams move away from QBs or to outbid teams who are bidding for their QB. I think 5 was probably our best chance for trade up... Arizona reportedly completely shut down any offers - they just wanted MHJ and they took him. 5 was probably our best chance, but it probably was way too steep of a price. Giants probably didn't want to move from Nabers, division rival Titans not great trade partner, Atlanta... wanted a freaking QB for some reason?!?!? Then Bears got their dream player drop to them and IMO that was probably the last chance we had. 
    • I wouldn't mind if we traded up early if we picked one of these three players: 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell
    • Round 2/3 Wishlist 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell 4. Rutgers CB Max Melton 5. Michigan LB Junior Colson 6. Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley 7. Minnesota S Tyler Nubin 8. Iowa State CB T.J. Tampa 9.Oregon WR Troy Franklin
    • Finally CB drafted a Edge with production, not only high RAS. But then it's a guy with big injury concerns. Anyway....any player can get a serious injury on any given play. So, welcome to Indy! Give everything you have on the field and stay healthy!   Gotta find a DB and WR in round 2. Think DeJean is still on the board?! Round 2 is probably where his value is.
