So, unless your strategy is to not draft ANYONE or trade all draft picks for players who have already proven themselves in the NFL, what's your point?

This goes to my point earlier about drafting players that will fit the system. If a college teams uses a similar system those players have a higher chance of having success when they transition to the NFL. if the systems are not similar than they will have a hard time making that change. 

Andy Dalton got lucky when he became a Bengals; the systems used in his first 5 years were similar to what he had in college and it is why he was success early. Hue and Jay both used similar systems that played to his strengths. 

If the current offense is not setup similar to LSU, Burrow may not produce like many are expecting. Given that ZT already has a year under his belt I'm not sure if MB will give him a 3rd year as the HC if the teams starts off bad like they did this year. It wouldn't surprise me to see ZT headed out the door if the team goes 0-4 or 0-5. 

There are way to many variables that could impact the team. I'm not thinking one player will turn this team around. He is just one of 53 players needed. This does not include the offense or defense systems, coaches, etc... I'm not sold on the team current and future plans under the current coaching staff. I will wait and see how it plays out but given 2019, I'm not sold on it.
