With his health issues and our o-line...definitely a risk. Let’s be honest, even QBs like Burrows come with a risk of transitioning to the NFL world. Not that I wouldn’t take that risk on Burrows, but he won’t be there by the 9th pick.

Of course any player ever to come out could bust.  Aaron Curry, Trent Richardson, and Luke Joeckel to name a few of the safest picks to ever bust.  But when it comes to a safe QB, I would say Burrow is about as safe as it gets

We just have too many holes to throw away a first round pick..

I dont think you have seen Burrow play.  Even when healthy, when Tua played against a good defense or got some pressure he crumbled even with one of the best olines in college and the best WR corps.  Burrow does the opposite.
