I think the reason I shake my head about it is because I watched Dalton in college and I don't see a ton of similarities between the two. I didn't see Dalton as a dynamic guy that took the team by the horns and led them to victory. I look back at 2018 LSU and watched the games and I come away somewhat impressed by Burrow. He didn't have an offseason with the WRs and it showed. He was very accurate last yea as well, it just didn't show up with a high completion %.
IF we were getting a better version of Dalton, I wouldn't waste the #1 overall pick on that. I'd take my chances with one of the other guys that could give me that.
