Chase is about as close as you can get to a sure thing, addresses our need for speed and separation - along with having a great record of making contested catches against top college competition and is flat out an intense high level competitor who is smart and mentally tough.
As the season wore on before Joe got hurt our receivers were just not getting separation and were woofing on contested catches.
Burrow showed the ability to get the ball out fast enough to protect himself from getting injured - if his receivers were open.
I think even with the minimal improvement that sits at the guard position and the hope of picking up some significant improvement in the draft in the 2nd and third round he'd be a much safer QB than he was this year and would be if we drafted OL in 1 without improving the receivers' ability to get open quickly and stretch the field.
Ding Ding ding, we have a winner!
