Where did we have the opportunity to draft Burrow or Allen? Do you already forget how miserable the Bengals were before Burrow?

Well, this past draft was an opportunity to draft a potential Allen.  We passed on that and signed the worst QB in the NFL instead.

and Allen had a really rough rookie season (so you can’t really use the Fields didn’t look great argument).   But it’s why you draft talent at QB when you don’t have it.   5 wins with Fields would feel a lot different right now.  Because I’m sure he would have had those moments here like he did in Chicago vs the Steelers, SF, etc.

Has there ever been a draft without a future pro bowl QB in it? I don’t think there has been... and yes I know pro bowl isn’t an amazing qualifier but point is no matter how bad a draft may seem at QB there will always still be at least 1-2 guys who wind up being solid starters at worst

2013

E.J. Manuel: Buffalo Bills (Round 1, Pick 16)

Geno Smith: New York Jets (Round 2, Pick 39)

Mike Glennon: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Round 3, Pick 73)

Matt Barkley: Philadelphia Eagles: (Round 4, Pick 98)

Ryan Nassib: New York Giants (Round 4, Pick 110)

Landry Jones: Pittsburgh Steelers (Round 4, Pick 115)

4th Round: Tyler Wilson

7th Round: Brad Sorensen, Zac Dysert, B.J. Daniels, Sean Renfree

Fields isn’t Allen and that’s ok.

We don’t know what Fields will be.   Allen was trash as a rookie QB if you recall. 

Fields is super talented and it showed in games like that prime time one vs the Steelers.   If the book is already written on Fields….then it would have been on Allen at the same time.

More excited and enjoyable watching teams like the Bills and Bengals play.

Thanks Rhule and Tepper for the experience.

For real, they got Tee higgins and Tyler Boyd ballin and we got Fatt Rhule wanting to reteach TMJ his gait/how to walk properly to be a great WR. Can't make up some of this stuff that comes out of his mouth.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
