Why you think that? And who would excel with those 2 teams?

If you trade #3 and #5 overall picks for one player, he needs to be a HOF caliber player

that's a high standard to meet...too high for Burrow

I don't think he even makes 6 pro bowls in his career

those teams need vet QBs w/ strong supporting casts to be in playoff contention

If I'm the Bengals if I can get 3, and 2 other firsts, that's more valuable than Burrow. 3 and 5 may actually not be enough alone, but something to the tune of 3, 5 and a mid-late 1st would be enough

Who ya'll think we're taking at 49?:jbhmm:

I think it really depends on who is available.

There has been a lot of smoke about picking a running back but I wouldn’t want to reach for one if Swift, Taylor, and Dobbins aren’t there. Akers really the only other one I would go for. The second link has been to Pittman Jr. Would be ok with that. From listening to podcasts there isn’t a real Hargrave replacement in this draft so defense wise if they got Antoine Winfield Jr that would be good safety depth

Yeah those teams definitely need more pieces, but i think he’ll be a good franchise quarterback.

A 3 & 5 far exceeds the value of 1 on the draft chart

anything additional would be foolish

Maybe, a great QB is the ultimate equalizer, if Burrow is who we suspect he is, everyone looks better. The playbook looks better, the line looks better, the defense looks better, everybody whose on the team now might look twice as good as they did last year.

3 and 5 will secure Tua and an excellent piece, which in a perfect world, would be better than Burrow, but it's a hell of a lot more uncertain. 3 + 5 + something else I'd take in a heartbeat though

It's also weird that there's been pretty much no trades in the past few days, I think teams either told GMs not to formally announce anything until today or they were having technical difficulties :skip:

If Tua was better than Burrow why would Miami be trying so hard to get that top pick to get Burrow when Tua would be right there for the taking, and why is Cincy playing hardball when they can get muiltiple 1st round picks and Tua for Burrow? I think that’s a giveaway on how high they value Burrow
