What would it take?

I get that there's no guarantee on Burrow any more than anyone else, but at the end of the day if he's what he appears to be he's: a QB with a good arm, decent leadership skills, a desire to win, no real injury history, and makes good reads. 

Obviously it would depend on scouting and need, but for example, the 5th, 18th, 26th, 39th, and 56th picks would get you  (* = Pro Bowler)...

2010: Eric Berry*, Maurkice Pouncey*, Dan Williams, Arrelious Benn, Mike Neal
2011: Patrick Peterson*, Corey Liguet, Jonathan Baldwin, Akeem Ayers, Shane Vereen
2012: Justin Blackmon, Melvin Ingram*, Whitney Mercilus, Janoris Jenkins*, Mike Adams
2013: Ezekiel Ansah*, Eric Reid*, Datone Jones, Geno Smith, Arthur Brown
2014: Khalil Mack*, Calvin Pryor, Marcuss Smith, Marqise Lee, Cody Latimer
2015: Brandon Scherff*, Marcus Peters*, Breshad Perriman, Eddie Goldman, Senquez Golson
2016: Jalen Ramsey*, Ryan Kelly*, Paxton Lynch, Noah Spence, Cody Whitehair*


Those are the players drafted in those specific picks last decade. I stopped at 2016, because that would mean they all have at least 4 years of NFL experience, which is the base rookie contract length.

So statistically, you'd ACTUALLY get 2 Pro Bowlers (1 of which is likely an All-Pro), 1 or 2 players who are okay, and 1 or 2 busts (based on if there's 1 or 2 okay players).
