Would 2019 Joe Burrow be the first QB taken in the 2017 draft - Trubisky, Watson, Mahomes

Debate going on in the Jake Fromm thread so I figured I'd start a thread about it.
Knowing what you know about 2019 Burrow, and what we knew about 2017 Trubisky, Watson, and Mahomes, would Burrow have been the first QB taken?
Fwiw, Burrow is rated as a 92 by McShay while the 2017 Trubisky was an 89, Watson an 88, and Mahomes an 85. All 3 were considered unpolished projects from what I recall.

If Burrow/LSU has the same season in 2017 as he did this year he goes first of that group

If he had this season
I am saying yes.
Mahomes and Watson went 10 and 12 because teams didn't evaluate them well.
I don't think Cleveland passes on their native son who just threw 55 TDs. Then again they might. They are Cleveland. But Chicago doesn't go with Mitch of Burrow.

Burrow is the #1 pick in almost every recent draft. Maybe absent the Andrew Luck and Cam Newton years
Posted on 1/8/20 at 3:54 pm to slackster
Yes. But you could say the same about Lawrence for next year

Hard to say. Most likely.
Would we be saying LSU beats Clemson in the 2017 title game? If that is the case, then absolutely he'd be the first QB taken.

Yes, easily

NFL GM's I think in that scenario would dissect Burrow's career a bit and wonder why he was so average as a Jr. Its a valid concern as all NFL systems may not fit him depending on where he's drafted. Is he a system QB would be my fear as the other QB's not named Trubisky had a better overall resume and proved they could make NFL throws as opposed to Burrows 1 year of success.

I think Burrow would be the #1 pick in every draft after the 2012 Draft with Luck.

I'll let yall guess whose average stats these are
QB A
41 total TD per year
4406 total yards per year
QB B
38.3 total TD per year
4032.3 total yards per year
QB C
38.7 total TD per year
4032.3 total yards per year

Among the great QB prospects taken first overall since 2000 Burrow is the best

What a weird thread. The only people who can answer this are the people who made the decision to draft Trubisky.
Have they spoken officially on the main reasons they took Trubisky over the other two? Is Burrow better in those areas?
Bottom line is, teams fall in love with certain players and that's the end of it.

I don't think people realize the season Burrow had. LSU ran an offense predicated on intermediate, accurate throws on a consistent basis. That is damn tough to sustain, much less look amazing in.

Going on what we now know I think the only defensible ranking would be:
1) Mahomes
2) Watson
3) Burrow
4) Trubisky
Mahomes and Watson have shown they are franchise quarterbacks in the NFL. Two years from now perhaps the ranking will be different.

I have come here to state that Trevor Lawrence is the most overrated prospect of all time
Fellas who have watched maybe 2 games of his bout to get mad

I think so. Watson is amazing but at the time I'm not sure people realized just how good he is.
2019 Joe Burrow goes #1 in most years except whatever year Cam Newton went.

Yes. The only guy you listed that was top 5 is Trubisky.
