When he broke college records, he was throwing to a guy who was an All Pro as a rookie and a guy we're discussing taking #5 overall.
Did he make AJ look good last year? Tate? Thomas? Erickson?
It's cool to want Sewell, but Burrow didn't make lesser receivers better in college and he didn't do it as a rookie, either. You put great weapons around him and he'll destroy teams and make it look easy, but he has shown no ability to make guys look better than they really are to this point in his career.
His anticipation and accuracy make him able to make average WRs look good. Mike Thomas is pretty average. He didn't catch a pass from any Bengals QB not named Burrow last year, nor did he do much at all with LA; 10 catches for 144 yds and 0 tds in 13 games over 3 years.
With Burrow, in 7 games, he went 13 catches for 132 yards and 1 td.
