I'm not a Bengals fan but I always kind of root for them because I know so many fellow Reds fans are. I'm genuinely excited for you guys!

Report: Dolphins trying to get to third pick without giving up fifth
Dolphins want to get No. 3 and No. 5 in effort to get to No. 1According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have talked about acquiring the third pick which belongs to the Lions, without necessarily giving up their own fifth overall pick.
The Dolphins aren’t trying to get the third overall pick from the Lions without giving up the fifth overall pick in order to make two picks in the top five. Instead, the Dolphins believe that a potential Godfather offer to the Bengals for the first overall pick would be even harder to refuse if the Dolphins offer both No. 3 and No. 5 as part of the package.
Per a league source, that’s the primary purpose of the Miami effort to finagle No. 3 from Detroit.
If the Dolphins pull it off, the Bengals would then have to ask themselves whether they’d rather have quarterback Joe Burrow or, for example, the best tackle on the board at No. 3 and either quarterback Justin Herbert or quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, plus whatever else Miami would be offering.
Of course, it won’t matter if the Dolphins can’t squeeze No. 3 from the Lions without giving up No. 5. But if the Dolphins somehow end up with a pair to top-five picks, don’t be surprised if the next move entails an effort to get to the top of the mountain, via a huge pile of draft picks.

Out of my cold, dead hands, Miami.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

Fake news...I don't see Detroit making that trade 3 is worth 2200, Miami would have to give a lot more then 18 and 26 to make up the difference.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Lol - not even close Miami.

Also, that same series of rumors mentions that the dolphins front office thinks burrow’s comp is Montana. So that’s aight.
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
I don't know where you got the 30% number from. I never said anything about that. Of course they're not going to be great at predicting exact picks. Yes, mock drafts are primarily for entertainment, but these guys are pretty good talent evaluators, and many of them have worked for teams in the past, or will in the future. Mayock obviously made the move, and McShay and Jeremiah have both been pursued by teams. The fact that they're not scouts does not mean that they don't know how to evaluate talent. They can just make a lot more money and lead much better lives doing this than as scouts who travel all year and make very little money. There are some scouts who probably love the job so much that they wouldn't trade it for the world, but I would guess most guys would switch places with Daniel Jeremiah, McShay, etc. in a heartbeat.
It would actually be interesting to compare a team's board to Daniel Jeremiah's or McShay's, etc. Of course we'll almost never see a team's big board, so that will never happen. You say none of them are experts, but how many NFL teams are experts? Most GMs are bad at their jobs. Most teams are mediocre at drafting on a consistent basis. QBs bust at a 50% rate.
Speaking of..

I guess this was known, but 1st time I've seen it.
Also didn't Sean Payton have coronavirus. I never heard anything more on that but assume he made a full recovery

Burrow is hilarious on top of everything else - from his twitter account a few hours ago...

Gov. DeWine ends the daily news conference with an uplifting video. Today, he mentioned that the NFL draft is tonight and the video featured good works by people from Joe Burrow's home town, Athens, OH.
I don't know the area, but here were some of the good folks mentioned: Avalanche Pizza, Passion Works, Tavalino, Nelsonville Quilt Company, West End Distillery, Brenan's Coffee Cafe, Sunflower Bakery, O'Betty's Red Hots, and others.

Not surprising, but just saw it posted on PFT:
Report: Bengals told Joe Burrow he’s the pick
According to the report, Brown sent Burrow a letter that welcomed him to Cincinnati and said he’s looking forward “to building championship football teams with you for many years to come.”

Burrow will wear #9 for the Bengals!
