People are too wrapped up in arm strength. Unless you have a complete noodle like Ryan Finley it is not that big of a deal. This mythical absolute perfect QB prospect people are looking for doesn’t exist. Burrow is as close as there’s been in years though. Lawrence might be even closer next next year, but we can’t worry about that right now.
I'm not sold on the HYPE of any draft pick because what they did in college may not translate to what they will do in the NFL. Just look at the first round QB bust that were sure things that simply didnt' pan out. Also, the NFL player level/skill are higher than the college ranks. Yes Burrow is a stud of a QB at the college level but how will he fair in the NFL? Does ZT scheme of playing calling matches up to Burrow play style and if not why waste a pick on a player that may not even fit into the scheme.
IF and I mean IF Burrow fits the Bengals offensive scheme than go ahead and select him. If not, don't waste that pick on him. Instead trade back and pick the player they prefer.
