The team is more then any one player can fix away. Burrow, like every 1st rounder is a 50-50 shot on success in the league. So, do you take one 50-50 guy or take 3 shots and maybe even more depending on what Miami gives you to move up this year and next?
To me if you get offered 3 first rounders for the first pick you are foolish to not take it.
I respectfully disagree.
Yes, Burrow alone will not fix the team, however he has a great chance of being the most important and hardest to find part of fixing said team.
To your point about the 50-50 shot. You are correct that every first rounder is a coin flip, however not every first rounder is a possible game changing, franchise QB. For instance, Kansas City. They traded up and took a shot on Patrick Mahomes. They saw him as a franchise QB and now the Chiefs are transformed into a Super Bowl contender, (currently winning the Super Bowl 7-3) . Baltimore saw something in Lamar Jackson, and traded up to get him. They flushed the toilet with a Super Bowl winning QB and built around Lamar Jackson. MVP.
My point is, a couple first round picks in the mid teens or 20's are not going to make much of a difference.
A franchise QB will make all the difference and you have to roll the dice, take him , use free agency and the draft to build around him.
Every other position can be improved on via the draft and free agency without breaking the bank. You have ONE shot at drafting a franchise QB and if you pass on him for a QB who is made of glass and can't even walk to the podium on draft day along with a couple maybe, iffy , boring late round picks you are seriously gambling. A bet I would not make
