I'm not a Bengals fan at all, but you guys may have a bright future with Burrow.

That’s certainly true, but the Bengals did make the playoffs 5 straight years with this management. In my perfect fantasy world, the Bengals draft Stenberg in the 2/3 round, move Cordy Glenn to RT and then sign Danny Trevathan. Those moves and a potentially healthy AJ Green would make for a much different looking Bengals. Certainly a lot has to go right in that scenario.One player for the Bengals would be like trying to piss on a forest fire. I really like Burrow but there isn't enough band aids to stop all the bleeding in Cincinnati. It starts with incompetent management.

He looks the part but one serious injury can blow that up in an instant.Let's hope Burrow is what he is hyped to be.

I know they didn’t win a playoff game, but the organization allowed for those teams to be assembled and they were really good teams. Having a QB changes your organization. Where were the Saints before Brees? Where were the Colts before Manning? I’m not saying Burrow will have the career those 2 had, but it just shows that bad organizations can still win if you get the right QB....but didn't win a single play-off game. They are light years from competing for a championship.
Need some linebackers. Have needed some for years.This was Zac Taylors first season. Our #1 pick sat out all season to heal. AJ Green has sat all season due to injury and what looks to be contract angling, he'll be franchise tagged. I think his tune will change with Joe throwing to him.
Bengals secondary has aged. OL needs to get upgrades at tackle. Get Joe and address those 2 units this draft and its a whole different ballgame.
I hope Bengals go with Burrow, and then get a LB in the 2nd around, OL 3rd round.That’s certainly true, but the Bengals did make the playoffs 5 straight years with this management.

It’s not a bad idea. It’s possible Dalton comes back I suppose, but my guess is that the Bengals may try to make a trade for some extra picks. Could probably get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Dalton, IMO. Maybe 4th.I would sit him all year to learn. Take your lumps again and draft at the top for second year.
Williams would be playing LT. That was the original plan and they were thinking of Glenn at guard. I’d prefer RT but either is ok. I think RT is better because a good guard like Stenberg might be available in the 3rd round.I hope Bengals go with Burrow, and then get a LB in the 2nd around, OL 3rd round.
That said, if LSU WR Jefferson makes it to the 2nd round.....do you take him with the 1st pick of the 2nd round? I would. Especially if we can make some moves via free agency with some experienced LBers, and OL.
Also question - if Glenn would be RT, are we playing Jonah Williams at LT?
Agreed. Wish they’d hit free agency for at least 1 LB, maybe 2, and then draft 1. But like you mentioned, Bengals likely wont be too active in free agency.Williams would be playing LT. That was the original plan and they were thinking of Glenn at guard. I’d prefer RT but either is ok. I think RT is better because a good guard like Stenberg might be available in the 3rd round.
I’d be all for taking Jefferson in round 2. The more talent at the skill positions the better. AJ Green won’t be around for very much longer. I’d love to surround Burrow with as many weapons as possible. The defense has some pieces still that are good, but huge weakness at LB. I’d rather address that in free agency because it’d be cheaper. We both know the Bengals likely won’t be super active in free agency but that’s how I’d approach it.
Always remind yourself who owns the Bengals. They could get Brady in his prime and screw it up. Its not a one great player fix. Burrow is good but the organization as a whole is flawed and it has always started from ownership. Until the Brown family sells the team to someone who can change the culture from the ground up its going to be more of the same.
Well I was hoping for a punter but whateverThere is a 37 page thread titled "Offical Joe Burrow/NCG Thread" on the Bengals board. Fans are jacked.
Bengals will take a FG kicker #1.
Lets go steal Josh Allen from JaxNeed some linebackers. Have needed some for years.
You shut your whore mouth.burrow may have played in his last post season game last night
have the Bengals ever signed a high rated free agent? ever?The Bengals will need to either sign a RT in free agency(won’t happen) or draft one at the top of the 2nd round to replace Bobby Hart so that Burrow doesn’t die in his first year. I may get flamed for this, but Mekhi Becton from Louisville is a damn good player that I would like to see the Bengals take if he’s there at 33
Nope. Which is why I said it won’t happen.have the Bengals ever signed a high rated free agent? ever?
Not really as far as you say. Any team in the NFL is four or five great players that know how to win games away from being a contender. If they’ll put the right pieces around Joe and get a couple great players to go with him they be hard to be. He’s the real deal....but didn't win a single play-off game. They are light years from competing for a championship.
No way. Not with Taylor as the head coach. Burrow will be the pick. The Bengals have supposedly reached out to him about playing in the Senior Bowl (likely asked him if he would consider not playing).Guys, I hate to burst your bubbles but Cincinnati will trade down. Not because it’s a good move, which it probably is because they have SO MANY HOLES, but because Mikey boy is too cheap to pay a number 1 pick and stupid. They will trade down for about 3 picks, 2 of which they will screw up and Bengal fans will be shaking their heads again.
