    Just a hypothetical question (if you do attend). If for some strange, weird, whatever reason the Bengals don't draft Burrows ...

    And when your organization shies away from free agency/market (for the most part) there is no room for error in the draft. You have to nail every one because that's primarily where you're playing your marbles, hedging your bets. It's a "limitation", a stiff-necked approach, that has hurt (hindered) this organization IMO. They've lost far more valuable players to the market then they've signed.

    My desire to not be a meme would argue against that possibility. Also, there's supposedly a lot of Bengals fans making the sojourn. I will let someone else's anguish be twitter fodder in that horrible scenario and comfort myself at the hold 'em tables...

    Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

    Official - I am going. I have booked the flights and the hotel. Got half on each due to points. Here we go. My lifelong bad luck jinx versus the Bengals doing the right thing and the national media trying to stir up trouble. What could possibly go wrong????

    Also, if anyone on here ends up there, send me a message and let's watch the pick together. Or get drunk if it goes wrong.

    Free agency in football has come a long way recently. Trying to build through free agency is a fools errand, especially if you go into it trying to find your cornerstone player. The way football is structure today, most top tier FA's end up playing their productive years with one organization. I think where teams are successful in free agency is adding depth, adding starters, adding players who may not be top tier, but can have an impact in the scheme they run.

    The Bengals have been beyond bad over the past few years in identifying free agent players to fill holes in their roster. When they were successful, they added to the depth of their roster with some free agent signings. Over the past years, they have tried to plug several gaps with guys who just weren't any good.

    A text from Joe Burrow's dad on the continuing thought that Joe might not want to go No. 1 (to a certain team):

    "Not sure where that information is coming from. We are excited Joe has put himself in a position to be considered a possible high draft choice."

    Hey dad, Joe Burrow basically said it himself.
    Dan Patrick: Is being #1 or to the right team more important to you?
    Joe Burrow said: "Combination of both. You know you want to go #1 but you also want to go to a great organization that's committed to winning and committed to winning Super Bowls."
    I think everyone has pretty much agreed that the Bengals aren't committed to winning Super Bowls, correct?

    Eric Dickerson was on Cowherd's show and said the Bungles have always been the Bungles. He said Burrow's career will go nowhere if he's a Bengal. Nothing we haven't heard before, but man he was right to the point in saying it.

    Until proven otherwise, he's correct. Same goes for the Detroit Lions.
