Can we talk Joe Burrow?

I looked through his other scouting reports and it looks like Burrow has the 4th or 5th highest rating overall. I don't know what that says about his scale but he is definitely the highest rated QB available.

EDIT: yea, his top 10 ratings (that he's done so far) are:
Chase Young 9.3
Derrick Brown 8.87
Jerry Jeudy 8.77
Jeffrey Okudah 8.65
Joe Burrow 8.59
Justin Herbert 8.59
D'Andre Swift 8.57
CeeDee Lamb 8.56
Isaiah Simmons 8.53
Xavier McKinney 8.33

So I think his scale needs a little work haha. You can't grade a player a "top 5 talent" and then say there's only 1 of them and expect that to make sense for a particular draft class

Under some aspect, yeah that does not make sense. I, however, can live with a draft class having no or just one "top 5 talent", for that could mean that the top prospects are just extraordinary weak in this particular year compared to other draft classes. Which might very well be true.

- I might be simple-minded here, but more and more I'd prefer Chase Young. I do find it goofy how he's obviously unable to pull his shirt over his belly, but aside from that, he looks actually amazing.
Trade down seems like a good idea as well. As for Burrow... well, I'd wait if someone has some more affirmative things to say or sites to show. Judging by the one you showed, it seems like a meh first overall pick. That possibly gets hurt behind our line.
