Joe Burrow was extremely fortunate to have not gotten seriously injured this past season.Most sacked Quarterback in the league last year.And the nightmare continued into the playoffs,and into the SB.

Burrow suffers season ending injury,and it’s over.I don’t care how good your defense is.

Hopkins graded 51.4 last year.  Spain 72.3.  Karras 72.8.  Cappa 73.8.  

Nobody wants Tretter because he pushed for players to skip OTA's last year.  He's a good individual player, but not the kind of presence you want on your team.  

The Ravens allowed more sacks than the Bengals last year, their starting QB actually did get injured, and all they did was sign a RT of similar quality to Karras and Cappa and draft a C with a number of issues and they are being lauded for this tremendous off season.
