It would - besides "how good is he", of course - be "How much 'better' is Burrow compared to Herbert/Tua". If this percieved gap is significant, he's the pick. If this gap isn't all that wide, trading down a few spots and possibly getting two other high picks for it might be a reasonable way to go.
Admittedly, I have doubts if any draft prospect -except really exceptional ones - can be seen as a safe bet. No hating on him in any way, but Burrow to me doesn't seem to be safe beyond any doubt. In that light, as I said, I'd rather have three lottery tickets than one.
Duke said earlier that it's 'doubtful' they trade the pick. I think that's an interesting statement for him to make publicly at this point, and it probably means they've already made the decision that there is a sizable enough gap between Burrow and the other QB's.
