Burrow overpriced at QB4–QB5 in sixth round despite healthy offseason.
Burrow is going QB4–QB5 in the sixth round, priced expensively relative to Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels; the source considers this pricing rich, especially when Dak Prescott goes a round and a half later and Brock Purdy goes nearly three and a half rounds later. While this is Burrow's first fully healthy offseason in quite some time, which should support increased passing volume and many Bengals shootouts due to defensive limitations, the expensive ADP makes him a questionable value for a pocket passer. As a pocket passer, Burrow holds onto the ball longer than necessary waiting for plays to develop and does not get out of the pocket as fast as he could, which naturally allows the pocket to collapse and defenders to roll up on him; this playing style directly caused his ACL tear and contributed to his turf toe injury when he stepped back aggressively in the pocket, suggesting some of his injury risk is self-inflicted by his own fault in how he plays.
