If it is true and Burrow is stoked at the idea of playing again with Chase.
Sewell and Chase are right there at #5.
They pass on Chase, pick Sewell, he flops or at the very least isn't ready to start on the line.
Joe can be upset with the FO and deep down hold a grudge.
Scenario 2 they choose Chase to somehow appease Burrow yet he gets clobbered behind a porous O-line.
Joe can carry a share of the burden/blame.
Which route will they go?
How many teams would hire Joe Burrow to be their GM?
Any front office worth a damn would draft the player they want and not even consider Burrows feelings.
People love to criticize Taylor for having Burrow throw 40+ times a game, but if they left it up to Joe I bet he would want to throw it 50. We all love his confidence. He probably thinks he can win games with his arm alone. In fact a lot of great QBs probably feel the same way. Just like a lot of great WRs think they should get the ball every time. And that is why players play but they don't coach or run the front office.
