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

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.

I have seen Burrow play and as of now, he's a 1 year wonder. Burrow will be the #1 pick but I would be a little weary of someone who goes from a 6th round pick to the #1 overall pick in 1 off season.

Tua came into the national title game against Georgia and brought them back for a win. He played in back to back national title games. He actually has a higher passer rating than Burrow this season.... And Burrow is having a historic season. Despite what you may think, Tua is an elite QB prospect.

If Tua comes out and his medical checks out, I doubt he makes it to #9 anyway.
