And he's not a one year wonder. He was solid as heck last year too, but this season his game is elevated in a way where even me, a defensive old school run and stop the run kind of guy can admit we cant pass it up on him. He may turn out special.
This is said about a prospect every year.... I get tired of hearing it. Burrow is no different than Johnny Manziel in that regard. Matthew Stafford, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Sam Bradford. RGIII, Watson, Mahomes, Trubisky, Allen, Winston.... the list goes on.
They all may turn out special.
I am still an Andrew Thomas guy... nothing has changed on that front. The only thing that has changed is that instead of taking Bredeson in the 2nd round, I would take Eason and that is because we HAVE to take a QB this year.
Ideally, Dalton would have been the starter next year with a revamped OLine. Finley is giving another year to immerse himself in the game. Then after next season, we roll with Finley. If Finley doesn't produce behind a strong OLine and 2 years, then you draft his replacement.
That scenario would give us the best chance at success next season while preparing for the future without Dalton.
