The hype train is insane, especially for a guy with only 1 year of great production, prior to that he was average at best.
I just see this as a missed opportunity to do something different and load up the roster, cause we aren't going to be active in FA, you have to know that. So if you only will build a team through the draft, get as many picks as you can to hopefully miss on fewer.
So, if you're going to rely on the draft to build and improve your team, it's all the more reason to take Burrow. If they feel he has the potential to be elite, I don't see how they pass on him if they're going to continue to be reliant on the draft and not aggressive in free agency. Taking Burrow would seem to be their best shot at landing at landing a (potentially) top tier QB.
I can only imagine what it's going to be like if we pass on Burrow and he goes on to be great somewhere else, while we're still trying to ascend back to mediocrity with all our draft picks we got for passing on him.
