We are going to be bad next year whether we have Chase Young on the field or Burrow on the bench, so I don't see a reason to rush the number one pick onto the field into situation that sets him up for failure. I get that it is tiresome having first round picks who don't see the field, but many of those were very questionable choices and that should not dictate how we handle our choices moving forward.
I get what you're saying, but I'd rather have the sure thing... Everyone is drooling over Burrow, but he doesn't have a huge sample size, and QB is a very hard position to evaluate. They don't have to "rush" Chase Young onto the field... Line him up and turn him loose. This team has a ton of needs, and we need a home run this draft. If we miss on a QB (and it is more likely that Burrow will miss than Young will) it will set this team back even farther. They'll probably draft Burrow because teams get foolish every spring, but I like the way the 49ers now and Seahawks years ago built themselves into contenders.
I'm actually really excited to see Young and Burrow square off in January... Hopefully it happens.
