Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow. 1. player. 56. . Quarterback

The only reason Chase Young to the Redskins is the second-easiest pick to make in any mock draft, is because this is the first-easiest.

There were whispers that the Bengals might not be Joe Burrow’s first choice of team (Would they be anyone’s first choice, to be honest?), but Burrow doesn’t seem like the type of personality to turn down the opportunity to fix something, and the Bengals are in no position to turn down one of the best quarterback prospects since Andrew Luck, all for a little pride.

Burrow has elite pocket awareness and improvisational skills, and while he doesn’t have the strongest arm or the fastest 40 time (He’s a good athlete, either way), he’s a fearsome competitor with a fairly quantifiable “It”-factor. If you need a quarterback, and see a quarterback with that, you take him, and ask questions later.
