I can't find a deficiency in his game. I think I'd be willing to call the Bengals and offer our top 1st round pick this year, our 4th round pick this year, Cam Robinson, Josh Dobbs and both first rounders next season, so I could draft him. With our other first round pick, I take the best LT on the board and target an OG in round 2. I then get a TE in round 3 and somewhere in rounds 5-7 I add 2 LB's, a NT and a CB. In free agency, I go all in on signing Bills DT Jordan Phillips who can play either DT spot. I almost NEVER want to move up in the draft, but Burrow is something special and the Bengals have virtually nothing. Maybe, just maybe they are desperate enough to trade down and acquire a cache' of picks and young players. All I know is Burrow is gonna be a star. That kid has ice in his veins. He doesn't panic, he reads the defenses very quickly and gets rid of the ball in a hurry and on target. These are all the traits that no Jaguars QB has had all together in one package.

No doubt Burrow looks like he'll be a very good NFL quarterback. This trade, however, makes little sense for both teams. Why would the Bengals even want Robinson or Dobbs? So basically, it's a trade of Burrow for a 1st rounder this year and 2 next year. If they think Burrow is the next Luck, no way they do it. 

As far as the Jaguars are concerned, it makes even less sense. Despite having a great year, we still don't know for sure how he would succeed with little around him. The Jaguars would be giving up 3 potential excellent NFL starters for a guy who isn't a guarantee to succeed. Secondly, I want to see what Minshew does for the rest of this season. He could be the greatest bargain this team has ever had. Even if he doesn't succeed, Foles should have a much better line next season and I'm not ready to give up on him either. Finally, with this club's history of quarterbacks, there's no way I'd risk this deal. Gabbert, Leftwich, Bortles and Foles have all been bad decisions. While I haven't given up on Foles, he still wasn't worth what they paid him. By the way, that doesn't mean they should never draft a quarterback in the first round- just not this year given what they've have to give up. If next year is more of the same for this team, they will have 2 first rounders to make a similar trade for one of the 2 studs who will be coming out then.
