As far as what Burrow has in front of him right now, we went out and took Mahomes Pro Bowl LT. We paid Jonah 12.6 million and then moved him to RT where he is playing good. We went out and got Cappa and Karras who blocked for Brady. Would most of us like to see an even better line in front of Burrow? Of course but how do you make that happen? We have already allowed a few big contributors on defense to leave the last couple of years in order to save money. You dont want to weaken the defense too much.
At this point now that they have that huge QB contract to account for they really should invest in more and better scouts for the trenches. The track record drafting OL and DL talent is overall bad. Maybe poach some folks from Eagles, Browns, Niners etc... because they wont be able to stock the whole OL on Free agents anymore .
