Could Joe Burrow lead Cincinnati Bengals to playoffs in year 1?

After fielding the worst team in the NFL and securing an abysmal 2-14 record, fans and pundits alike are wisely viewing the Cincinnati Bengals as a squad that is a few years away from truly competing. Securing the top overall pick, which will likely be spent on Joe Burrow, is expected to lay a solid foundation for the rebuild period the team is about to enter.

However, what if the team can do the seemingly impossible and mirror the turnaround they had in 2011? After winning just 4 games in 2010, the front office put together an impressive draft class that led to a wild card playoff spot.
