I think he's worth consideration.
He could experience a Justin Jefferson-like stock increase as the off season goes on because, as you said, he is a great prospect in terms of measurables. His production was very TD centric, as he only has 1594 career yards in 2 and a half seasons, but the touchdown production is significant. If he has a 4.40 40 and impressive combine numbers, he could become a first round pick real quick. Especially since he continued to produce at a higher level this year (granted, the top two receivers from last year are not playing this year) without Burrow. He opted out of the season, but that's not a huge red flag given this season's circumstances.
Honestly, when it comes to the 2nd round pick (assuming we secure Sewell at #3), I think BPA is the only viable approach. We have a lot of needs on this team, from CB, to DE, to DT, to OG to OT to WR to even TE.
We basically can't go wrong in the 2nd round assuming we select a player worthy of the slot. We just have that many needs.
The off season will determine a lot of this. If we re-sign WJIII, CB becomes less of a need (but still a pretty big need because...you know...look at what we're dealing with right now with just 1 major injury at CB). If we sign Joe Thuney or Brandon Scherff, then you can probably cross OG off the list etc.
I like the idea of Terrace Marshall Jr in the 2nd, but we'll see how things shake out as the off season progresses. After all, guys you think will go in the 2nd round in December end up being available in the 3rd or 4th round range come April and vice versa. But giving Burrow one of his favorite targets in the red zone from 2019 (10 of his 13 TDs were within the redzone) is quite the draw.
