If you are going to swing for the fences and actually try to compete for championships? Take Burrow. The guy may have the requisite smarts, work-a-holism, and physical attributes to be a damn good franchise QB in the NFL. Is it risky to take a QB? Always. Does this guy check a whole lot of boxes, including a willingness to improve himself and to strive for perfection? Soundly and decisively. I don't care if there is some "jump" in skill that occurs with QBs at certain ages. I don't care if there's a high bust rate for QBs. I don't care if he doesn't have a cannon arm or lambo wheels. The guy has gone out and elevated himself from playing four elite graded games played in a season to nearly ALL of his games being elite caliber in a season. He has elevated himself from a whipping boy who was derided as being a "D-III QB" to one of the most efficient college passers of all time. What he has done is actually inspiring. It actually may instill some confidence that the franchise is willing to go for the jugular, to put its chips in the middle, and to aggressively pursue a strategy that may give you the best odds at winning a championship. I say roll the dice and go for the guy who is most likely to be the next Brady/Brees type of talent if you can.
Chase Young has been inspiring in his own right, and looks to quite probably have a bright future as a pro. I have no bias against the guy or his position, but this is a HC's league, a GM's league, and a QB's league. The nerve center of a team is the most important aspect. Elite employees at those positions tend to have more of a "grand slam" effect than having elite employees at other positions. How good were the Raiders with Khalil Mack? How good were the Packers with Aaron Rodgers and plenty of holes? Which of those teams during those timeframes were more dangerous as far as actually running the tables and beating elite teams in meaningful games?
