What's the point of this thread? Just to bash Burrow because he isn't Lawrence?
To legitimately see what posters on here would do if Lawrence were available this year.
You see everyone keeps going on about Burrow being the pick because he is the BEST QB. Well that is true for this draft, but what about some other drafts?
Is Burrow as good as Manning? How about Mayfield? Would we have been interested in Burrow if Luck was an option in the draft?
If the idea is to get the best QB, then why not compare him to other QBs?
Joe Burrow being the best QB in this draft doesn't really mean much if it is a weak QB class. The question is to see if he would still be your pick if there were other options available. I know I didn't put up the options and have it down to Lawrence and Burrow, but the question is really if we had other options would Burrow still be the pick?
If the draft had, Mahomes, Jackson, Watson, Luck, Lawrence, Mayfield, Murray and Burrow as options... which would you take?
The reason I omitted the others was because Burrow and Lawrence are both on equal footing so to speak due to neither playing in the NFL. That and there is a chance that we have the 1st pick next year, even if it isn't a desired outcome and it is also rare, but if we did have the first pick, then the question would be, do we pass on Lawrence just because we took Burrow?
