The Bengals will officially not trade the No. 1 overall pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (Twitter link).
All throughout the predraft process, Cincinnati hasn’t expressed any willingness to move off the first selection, but that hasn’t stopped other teams from trying. The Dolphins, specifically, have reportedly even tried to acquire the No. 3 pick with the intent of packaging it with the fifth overall selection in exchange for No. 1. But even an offer that attractive hasn’t swayed the Bengals.
It’s hard to fault Miami for trying, of course, as the club had embarked on a 2019 tanking campaign in order to land a top quarterback. Cincinnati is widely expected to draft LSU signal-caller Joe Burrow with the No. 1 selection.
Mr Frond ate mr Ambrose’s yogurt???
I’ve enjoyed some of the site improvements but I question whether we need an echo chamber.
They were never going to anyway. Yes, even Mike Brown isn’t dumb enough to trade the first overall pick.
Only if got somebody’s whole Draft Picks and a Patrick Mahomes.
The Saints offered all of their picks in the 1999 Draft, their first-round picks in 2000 and 2001, and a second-round pick in 2002. All that for the No. 3 pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. Mike Brown said “no” and took Akili Smith instead.
That can’t be true. Can it?
100%
Wow and I always thought the Ditka deal was the biggest pick trade gaff.
But that one …. that ones just awful. It makes me sick.
There are some wonderful NFL blunders to choose from. How about the Steelers drafting Unitas in 1955 and cutting him in training camp the following summer. The Colts moved in and the rest as they like to say…is history.
How many players getting drafted today that were out of diapers when that happened? I’m sure a few weren’t even born yet
what’s crazy in this whole thing is Miami’s mantra was tank for tua. they didn’t fully tank, and still can land him and want to trade out
