Not going to lie because again my post history says otherwise but I wasn't really a huge Burrow fan until this season. It wasn't that I thought he was a bad pick but again with Herbert there (plus the extra #'1's - I believe 3 or 4 were being floated?) and Zac seeming to take a liking to him without all the extra #1's - Well, flashes of Akili started to form. A "are they really going to pass that up again" situation. After all, before Joes magical senior year he was projected to be what - a fifth round pick?
So yeah I've said it before and I'll be honest and say it again - I would have taken Herbert and the picks. Back then.
Fast forward to today and Joe is having a incredible year. He is everything I had hoped we were getting. Not that he didn't show flashes in previous seasons or anything but this year he has been truly consistent MVP "elite". It's just a damn shame about the rest of the pieces.
Lamar was raw but remember we didn't have a line at the time - not that we really do now - but I felt his legs could compensate for that. I hate that the Ravens got him because I really enjoy watching him play. He's a favorite.
