If the 2020 NFL Draft were redrafted today knowing what we now know, what would it look like?
If you remain curious after reading this stupid take, he had Joe Burrow going to Washington at number 2.1. Cincinnati Bengals: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
Original pick: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
Frankly, there’s no need to mess with a good thing in Cincinnati — Burrow has played in a Super Bowl and consecutive AFC Championship Games. But I just can’t help myself. Herbert is the more talented quarterback, and it’s hard to imagine that his time with a supporting cast like Burrow has had in Cincinnati would be disappointing.
Who can begrudge the original pick, though? When it happened, Burrow was three months removed from being the engine of the best passing offense in college football history (by a wide margin). Burrow doesn’t go first overall here, but he has played well enough to stick near the top of this redraft.
