They don't only need to protect Burrow which is agreed NEED #1A.
BUT, NEED #1B is WR1 to replace AJ Green. And, you have the most fitting and familiar WR1 in Chase which makes Burrow very happy staring us at #5 (Which I honestly thought was an impossibility going into this draft).
How many #1 franchise QBs actually have gotten a chance to team up with their #1 WRs from College???? It didn't happen last year with CeeDee Lamb and Murray/Mayfield.
It just doesn't fall into your lap like this.....EVER!
So, take the #1 WR, make your franchise QB happy, then keep making him happy in Rounds 2 and 3 and/or 4 with another OT and G's. THIS DRAFT IS DEEP IN OTs and IOL. IT IS NOT DEEP WITH #1WRs, ONLY SLOT WRs after RD 1.
That's truly not the case though. I look at all these 2nd tier tackles and none of them really excite me. All of them are 2nd round types for a reason. The same can be said for the WR class as well.
