While I agree that we need more than just Joe Burrow in order to be contenders, I don't see first pick in the draft happening again next year. Once Joe settles in and makes this his team, the players that are already here will play well enough to avoid first pick status. This team does have pockets of talent and more overall talent than a few of the teams picking after them in this draft. I think that Joe will bring an energy that this team has been lacking for years and will get more out of these guys as a result. I'm not saying playoffs in year one, but definitely not top of the draft again.
