I want the Bengals to draft Lamar Jackson.
Youāre going to scroll down to the comments section to tell me that Iām a big, dumb idiot because I want the Bengals to use their first-round pick on a quarterback and not on a player that will help them address a more glaring need like, say, the offensive line.
Or youāre going to run to Twitter to chortle at my ignorance as you remind me that since 20 picks will be made before the Bengals are on the clock Thursday night, they might not even have the chance to draft the Heisman Trophy-winning Louisville quarterback.
Thatās fine. I am a big, dumb idiot.
But I still want the Bengals to draft Lamar Jackson.
