Episode Details

The Joe Burrow Effect is real, so much so that the Cincinnati Bengals are without a First Round pick for the first time since 1989. Burrow's happiness is a bigger topic than it should be, so that's why the Bengals making this seismic trade ignites the conversation on if Burrow now feels better about the Bengals and the direction the organization is heading. 

Speaking of the Bengals' organization, one aspect of trading for Dexter Lawrence is them seizing control. It's not just for this season, but this could change the legacy of Mike Brown and how he and the Bengals' front office is viewed around the league. 

There can't possibly be any downsides to the Bengals trading for Dexter Lawrence. But then again, every trade comes at a cost. Did the Bengals give more than just the No. 10 overall pick? 

Six years ago today, the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow. Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss that and share their favorite NFL Draft memories.
