Here is why I am against drafting Burrow.... his arm strength is limited. Many NFL directors see him as a Derek Carr/Dalton type of passer in the NFL. Do we need another Dalton to run the show?
"In speaking to a few directors of college scouting for NFL teams, they felt that Burrow has looked good but has some limitations in arm strength for the next level. They based that off of watching Burrow in person this year in games and practice. They thought that he is an efficient game manager with prototypical size, but his arm talent is not elite. Because of the skill-set limitations, they see him as a prospect similar to Andy Dalton or Derek Carr. "
I rather the team draft Herbert as he is a bit taller and has the arm strength. Burrow maybe a bit more accurate but if you cannot get the ball down the field you limit the team offensive schemes.
"Herbert displays good size and a strong arm with the ability to loft in touch passes. He can drop in passes with nice ball placement that leads his receivers and beats quality coverage with the location of his passes. Given his height and size, Herbert can comfortably stand tall in the pocket and demonstrate the patience to let routes develop. Along with his arm talent, Herbert is a quality athlete who has the ability to pick up yards on the ground."
