Many experts don't see Burrow as that clear cut. For many he's not the best prospect. For some he's not the best QB. Might not mean anything, he very well might be and those guys could just be idiots. Same goes for the Haskins thing, it might very well mean nothing. What all that means though is that Burrow's relevant sample size is pretty much one year. And that is just slim. And I dare say that I consider that a relevant point.

And I can't help but see a little bit of a lottery factor with him, as is true for almost any prospect of course. But this would be in my thoughts were I to decide about said Dolphins trade. I'd say at least I'd have to consider it. I'd fall to 5, Tua or Herbert might still be there. Also, we still have a bad OLine and lousy LBs.

Here is what I see. Hurts is projected as the 5th to 7th best Qb in the draft.  But he led Alabama to the National Championship game twice as a true (not a red shirt) Freshman and Sophomore!! 

So Tua replaced him and quickly became the fan favorite, and the job was his from then on.

So either Alabama has a ton of talent surrounding the qb and the qb is just a product of the system or is the QB that good?

2nd Tuas injury history scares me.

I've been reading about those that have been putting Tua ahead of Burrow. One thing.they agree on is that Burrow should be the top pick, not Tua.
