My Argument For Picking Chase Young First

If we take Burrow and he becomes the next average, overdrafted QB we'd be the laughing stock as well. Even more so when Young gets three sacks per game.

(By that I do not say draft Young. What I will say is if Mimai gave us their three firstroundersx, there's a high danger of becoming a laughing stock by turning that offer down.)

I dunno. I think passing on stars gets criticized a hell of a lot more than drafting busts does.

For example, Chicago isn't criticized so much for drafting Trubisky as much as they are for not drafting Mahomes or Watson.

Drafting busts is just part of the game. But God have mercy on those who pass on future stars. You hear much more about how every team passed on Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson and less about the time the Jaguars drafted Blaine Gabbert.

But maybe that's just a perceptual difference.
