you can take a pocket passer high because he is such an elite passer. And he's in this situation that you couldn't script any better between the great weapons that he has and the putrid defense, where the game scripts force them to throw the ball.

Elite passer exception: Burrow's weapons and defense script justify early QB draft pick.
Burrow is the exception to the rule against drafting pocket passers high in fantasy; he can be taken early because he is an elite passer in a situation that cannot be scripted better—great weapons and a putrid defense force the game script to throw the ball, enabling him to reach the 40+ passing touchdowns needed to compensate for lack of rushing production.
