Burrow was also playing with from the 2020-2021 drafts...

WR = 1st Round
WR = 1st Round
WR = 2nd Round
WR = 6th Round
TE = 7th Round
RB = 1st Round

G = 3rd Round
C = 3rd Round
T = 4th Round

LB = 1st Round
LB = 1st Round
LB = 3rd Round
S = 2nd Round
S = 6th Round
CB = 2nd Round
CB = 7th Round
DT = 4th Round
DT = 4th Round

LS = 6th Round

That is the closest we have ever seen to an NFL team beating up on college teams mostly composed of car/insurance salesmen and gym coaches. 5 1st rounders, 3 2nd rounders, 3 3rd rounders, and 3 4th rounders. (Not counting Burrow himself.)

(Don't get me wrong, I think Burrow is more talented and has a higher ceiling than Dalton, but he also played with an entire team of NFL caliber players.)

For comparison, here's TCU's 2011-2012 draftees...

T = 5th Round
WR = 5th Round

LB = 5th Round
S = 6th Round
CB = 7th Round
CB = 7th Round

Nobody earlier than the 5th round, and only 1 more player in total than LSU had 1st round players not named Burrow.
