Last year we averaged were 30th in points score around 17.4, this year we are 26th.. and excluding Giants game we averaged 21.3   NFL scoring is up this year, we would be around 18th in scoring with 21.3 average in 2019.  

So i don;t see it as a significant improvement but I agree the offense is better with Burrow than last year QBs .. just struggled to throw TDS.. he actually was on pace to having just a few more  Passing TDS than Dalton did as a rookie but with a lot more attempts and completions. 

But back to my main point.. we pick what some consider the best QB coming out of college since Manning and he plays well improves the team but we really don;t move the needle that much.. not so much because of him but just too many holes on the team overall, now we face the similar situation but it is a Tackle not a QB but we could acquire 3 picks could get us a good tackle, possible the first guard off the board and a good Dline pick.. So we add three projected good solid starters vs. a projected excellent tackle.. With this team right now I take the three over the one and believe this will actually help Burrow more in winning.
