If Joe Burrow is the guy and it's looking like hes the best QB to come out in a few years you take him and build around him.

And yet Top-10 QB picks are terribly dangerous.

Previous 5 years ('14-'18):
Baker Mayfield
Sam Darnold
Josh Allen
Josh Rosen
Mitchell Trubisky
Patrick Mahomes
Jared Goff
Carson Wentz
Jameis Winston
Marcus Mariota
Blake Bortles


11 QBs taken in the Top 5, and you have 1 surefire franchise QB (Mahomes) who was chosen by a team that was coming off a 12-4 season and had 7 Pro Bowlers and 5 All-Pros just from that 12-4 team. He then sat out his first year where the team went 10-6. That's certainly not the type of set-up for success that the Bengals have for a QB right now. 

And... two more on that list who could possibly be franchise QBs in Wentz and Goff, though Wentz gets hurt and hasn't been particularly great this year (and his backup took his team to win a SB, so the team itself was good) and Goff who a year ago you'd say was a franchise QB but has really fallen off the map this year.
