Chase Young or Three First Round Picks?

Why not try to have our cake and eat it to?

Teams are going to go CRAZY for Tua as the draft approaches and the only away a team can guarantee getting him is to trade up to 2. So, if someone offers us a HAUL, then lets take it. But it doesn't mean we can't also get Young. We could trade back up with Detroit to draft Chase.

Since we'd be trading up to 3 and not selecting a QB, the market would dictate that we not have to give up nearly as much as we acquired in moving out of 2. Sure, it would be risky as someone could always outbid us for Detroit's spot or they could just decide to take Tua, so there is risk there. But its also possible we could end up netting Chase Young (at 3) AND another first (or multiple later picks).
They are taking chase young lol.

We either take Chase Young at #2 or BEST CASE we end up with Miami’s #5 and #18 and maybe their #26 ( in a perfect universe). The #5 gets us Isiah Simmons ( the second best defensive player in the draft) or Andrew Thomas (best OT). The likelihood of this scenario is low. Teams are going to trade with Detroit not us. But it’s ok to dream.

Frankly, I dream of Chase chasing Carson Wentz into Sweat’s arms. [emoji23]

I think if Chase is still there at 2 I’ll be surprised. This guy is THAT dominant.

If the Bengals take Chase it’s easy ...

We don’t have the OLBs for a 4-3. No real mic MLB. No head honcho like Rivera had in Kuechly .. no coverage LB like Shaq Thompson or Thomas Davis. We have no LB like that at all. We’re all DLine right now. Which is good .. but it’s just a foundation. I also don’t trust the secondary game to game. FS imo is wide open and it’s not even mentioned. I’m over average we can better almost anywhere.

Yea. Yea WR too of course. OL is obvious.

But we need TWO hybrid 4-3 LBs. MLB. OLB.
One WR to pair with Terry.
Tackle.
FS or CB. Someone to help that unit.

This is completely incorrect thinking. If a team trades with Detroit, then another team can still jump ahead of them and trade with us to get Tua. Any team that REALLY wants TUA (even Detroit, if they wanted him) is going to have to trade up to 2. We might say NO, but the teams who are truly serious about Tua will be coming to us.

Teams know that Burrow/Young are locks at 1 and 2, or it will be a kings ransom plus to move the Bengals/Skins out of their position. If a team wants Tua, they will try Detroit first.

Right, the skins are not drafting Tua at 2 so why would a team move up there? It's boring but it's just a fact, Burrow / Young is how it will go for #1 and #2

In an ESPN article it said Miami and Indy are definitely interested in Tua. I still can't believe his injury didn't drop his draft stock. Let the bidding war for the #2 pick begin.

Unless the Burrow camp comes out and says he will not play for the Bengals, which is what I just heard Rich Eisen say there are mumblings about this happening. We'll see...if this were to happen, could easily see Bengals taking Chase and then our pick gets VERY interesting!

I almost wish that would happen, imagine the trade demand for the 2nd pick if Young goes to the Bengals.

My first preference is Young.

My second preference is a bidding war involving 3 first rounders and whatever else a team would throw in.
