Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

[Skinsfanatic]

AJ Green, 2nd round pick for Haskins and Trent.

Bengals take Chase, Redskins take Joe.

I want Chase, just playing make believe.

Why would Bengals do that? You really miss the fact that Burrow is a southern Ohio boy. Adding him to their team will bring thousands southern Ohio football fans back to following the Bengals. Chase would not add to the Bengals fan draw at all.

What if Joe doesn't wanna be there? Also, a Buckeye would have no draw in Ohio? Not that I think it will happen, or even want it to, but it's a boring sports time right now.

Good stuff from opposing teams/players:

You don't understand Ohio. There is a huge cultural gap between Cincinnati and Columbus.
the vast majority of Columbus pro football fans look to Cleveland or Pittsburgh, not Cincinnati. In Columbus, Cincinnati is percieved to be part of Kentucky.

Yeah but Burrow is from Athens ... which is closer to West Virginia, than either Cincy or Columbus.

[Ohioskins]

But there are no pro teams in West Virginia. Culturally Athens County is closer to Cincinnati in its "small town" feel. The people from Athens switched their allegiance to LSU when Joe played there. They will have no trouble becoming Bengals fans. By contrast, people from Columbus will not become Bengals fans if Young was drafted by the Bengals. If Columbus fans heard Chase was going to Cincy the vast majority of them would hold a funeral for him.

Ahhh ... I gotcha. I was wondering your angle. Thinking that it could have been Burrow NOT wanting to play in Cincy. By all accounts I've seen, he's fine with it.

All you say makes sense to me.

Absolutely!! I'm watching every pick of this draft. My football knowledge is gonna be real strong by April 25th. I'm gonna know who every single new player is in the NFL this year (that's been picked).

Yes agree! I always love it but really will this year considering everything. It's also an exciting draft for the Skins considering it's Rivera's 1st and the #2 overall pick. Think ratings for this draft could be record setting.

I wish the NFL would cut the draft bullshit this year and just do a 2 day draft.
Bring back the all day draft!

[Ohioskins]

Well we should be right up there among the highest picks in 2021 also.
