They didn't have a chance. Can't wish for something you couldn't have had. Without a Herschel Walker type deal, no way was Cincy trading out of that spot.

Wasn’t there a rumor someone offered them a massive deal for 1 and they still said no?

The rumor was Miami really wanted to trade up. I don't think it even got to a point where they made an offer but Miami had 3 first round draft picks and the speculation was they were willing to give them all up.
Miami took Tua that year. It's kind of crazy looking back now that Miami had already planted the seed of not wanting Tua even before they drafted him, which carried over into the NFL. He finally proves himself this year and now is career might be over.

I’m still skeptical of Tua, he’s good, but limited. He beat up on bad D’s and you saw some of the issues down the stretch when D’s got tougher and pressure came.
But it’s hard to believe how poorly he’s been treated in Miami. From a coach that didn’t want him, to now one that does and his health has been mismanaged.

That's fair. I have been most impressed with his deep ball. He really seemed to make some strides with that, which was a big knock on him coming out (although not sure if that was just a false narrative).

There was talk...again talk that Stafford and the first or second round pick were discussed for the Burrow slot. Or something to that effect.
