Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Does anyone think Burrow #1 overall to the Bengals would/will go well?

For which side? Bengals couldn't be more giddy, but Burrow obviously could have landed in a much better position.

Looking at it from a Bengal's fan perspective...couldn't be any better. We get a QB that just had the best season in college football history and he is a southern Ohio kid to boot that might get fans to show up. Dalton was never going to be the guy, though God bless him for him doing his best and never giving up. Dalton should be a verified saint in the Queen City. But it is time to move on.

Anyways, hope for both sides that Burrow works out.

People seem to be forgetting that he will get a healthy Jonah Williams up front.

Exactly. If healthy, I think the OL could keep Burrow's jersey somewhat clean. I think a line of Williams, Su'a-Filo, Hopkins, Price, Jordan, Redmond, Hart and Prince could be serviceable. I would prefer to take an OL somewhere in rounds 2-4 if the right guy is there though. Really hurts that neither of Ogbuhi or Fisher worked out...I know I misspelled their names but don't care enough to look it up. I look at that list and there is not true LT.

Also, been doing some mock drafts because what the hell else sports-related is out there, right? Mock drafts are stupid, but since I love them, kind of surprised at who is there and who isn't. Here was my mock draft:

Round 1 - QB Joe Burrow (duh)
Round 2 - LB Kenneth Murray (no way he would really be available here...I like the highest ranked OL, DE, LB or WR here depending on how others draft...more likely would be Baun, Epensa, )
Round 3 - OT Austin Jackson (again, don't think he will be here...but also like Isiah Wilson here too...Tee Higgins also has my eye here if available)
Round 4 - TE Thaddeus Moss (maybe a little high at the beginning of Round 4, but I really like getting Burrow one of his favorite targets at TE now the Eifert is gone...we do really need a TE in this draft)
Round 5 - WR John Hightower (really like Hightower and think he is underrated big time...mocks have him going anywhere from Rounds 3-7)
Round 6 - LB Shaquille Quarterman (we need LBs bad and I really like Quarterman...again, do not think he will be available by Round 6, but would even take him in Round 5 if he is there)
Round 7 - OT Saahdiq Charles (highly doubt he is available here and that makes 3 LSU players, but why not?...we need help on the OL)

- I would like to see a pass rusher somewhere above and really like Baun or Epensa with pick #2 if either is available...Delpit would be an amazing steal too if he is there. We need another WR, but this class is super deep and we can probably get a good one like Hightower relatively late. TE is a must at some point in the first 5 rounds imo.
