Man, anything is possible in the nfl. I don’t rule out anything. But, if we aren’t living in fantasy land (i think tua is a phenomenal prospect) burrow is the best prospect. Now if the bengals don’t like him then sure they can trade it away. But if they like Tua and want to draft him what stops them from taking him at 1? Trading back risks losing him as well. Miami has more ammo than anyone in this draft. My point is if they think Burrow is a franchise qb (how do they not) do you honestly think they will trade the pick? If anyone has half a brain that would say no. No matter what the offer is. Teams would kill to lock up a franchise qb for 15 years. I think there’s about a 3% change they trade and even less than that outside of the top 5.

I don’t think Bengals trade back and get Tua or Justin Herbert unless they really like one of those guys. My thought process is that they could potentially trade this pick for a huge haul and provide a solid core for their team. Burrow is going to take more compensation than past drafts and will probably be the most highly coveted pick since Luck. Once they build their core, they can then work in finding another qb they like through future free agency or draft. They could even keep Dalton around if they wanted to until they find a better solution. They are far away from competing whether they have Burrow or not and there is no guarantee that Burrow signs an extension and stays long enough to reap the rewards especially if they get him beat to hell. Their offensive line graded out as the 30th tank unit last year and their defense was also bottom of the barrel. Oh and they probably going to lose AJ green to free agency. I don’t think trading the pick is a dumb move by any means.
