I would not call him anything close to elite...  Lets look at his stats with a healthy and better offense then Cincy compared to Andy this year and tell me how he is looking like a good pick

Mayfield-  60 percent completion.. 19 TD 18 Int.. 79 rating

Dalton-  60% completion   15 TD  13 Int  78 rating

Im not saying draft Burrow.. but he has had one great year.. nothing much before that... is that enough to go on for your franchise QB pick?  maybe but please don;t put Mayfield as a successful #1 pick right now

This is sensible, Essex.  Baker Mayfield makes more commercials than touchdowns and while he's better than anything the Cleveland Browns have had in decades, he's certainly nowhere near elite.  I like Joe Burrow too but it's way too early to anoint him the savior of the Bengals.  I'm afraid if he comes to Cincinnati he'll come with unrealistic expectations from many fans.  This isn't LSU where the offense was built around his strengths.  Just look at head coaches; I can say confidently Ed Orgeron is far better as than Zac Taylor.
