What is your definition of an elite QB? If "nothing was put around them" to prove they were elite, how do you know they were elite? College skill doesn't always translate to the NFL. Give me a couple dozen of these QB's as examples. I'm curious. They better not have had anything around them for help either.

We will not suck for a decade with Burrow. Teams don't usually have immediate pro bowl success from their rookie QB. Some do, some don't. We'll see how it goes. But passing on Burrow for players that will never reach his level of success is insane.

And again whose to say they won’t reach his level of success? Burrow could just as easily be the next Ryan leaf. He had 1 good year. Couldn’t beat out jt Barrett. Couldn’t. Best out Dwayne Haskins. Went to LSU and
Sucked.

We draft Burrow with the following in place:

RB - Gio, Mixon
WRs - AJ, Boyd, Ross, Tate
TE - Uzomah
OL - Jonah, Glenn, Hopkins, Miller, Hart, Johnson...

We have 6 other draft picks, plus a full 2021 draft and the off chance that we would use free agency. 

Explain to me how we would be sacrificing "putting players around a QB" just because we took one at #1.  Mind you, that the other draft picks you took in the first round were defensive players.

Bc we have a minimum of 12 starting positions that need upgrading.
