re: Some Potential Problems for Joe B in Cincinnati

I hope he goes to Cincy and has them playing on wild card weekend in the next few years. Would be the best story IMO if he instilled belief in the franchise and forced their hand in providing a cast around him.

I think the way the draft works, if Joe sits out a year, he can re-enter the next year. If push comes to shove, if I was Joe, I would sit out a year. Long term, it is better for him to have a fair shot in the NFL than to be cannon fodder for a bad team and lose his health.

Best guess is Miami as a trade partner, as they have easily the most draft capital of anyone.

Is Miami really any better than Cincinatti? From an organizational standpoint I mean. They traded everyone off. They have been awful for many years.....

He's not enthusiastic about playing for the Bengals. All the signals he's sending are pointing to an Eli Manning part deux shunning of the Bengals.

I agree that he isn't excited about the Bengals. He is always even keeled when asked about being the first pick, he never says "Yeah, I'd love to play for them" or "I'm excited about that opportunity." It's always that it's an honor to be in his position or that he wants to play for an organization that wants to win.

I don't know about if he will pull an Eli, but from what I've seen, unless Cincinnati is DEAD SET on Joe Burrow being there and won't entertain any other ideas, it wouldn't surprise me if Joe ended up somewhere else.

Either way, I think he will be fine wherever he goes.
