It would take an absolute stunner to knock LSU's Joe Burrow from the throne as top quarterback, if not top prospect outright in 2020.

The Heisman Trophy winner experienced one of the most memorable single-season leaps in recent history, completing 77.6 percent of his passes for 5,208 yards and 55 touchdowns against six interceptions, even torching Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff to the tune of seven touchdown passes.

Burrow doesn't have one obvious flaw in his game. He makes reads, he's mobile, his arm makes NFL throws. Whether he pans out could still likely hinge on location, but it's hard to see him failing right now.

Best Fit: Cincinnati Bengals

First overall to the Cincinnati Bengals sounds good. Some might decry Burrow going to a team that won just two games and got off to the worst start in franchise history, but there are signs of improvement.

For one, the Bengals have an excellent crop of talent around the quarterback. A.J. Green could be back to join Tyler Boyd, John Ross, Joe Mixon and perhaps Tyler Eifert. Jonah Williams, a first-round pick last year, will return to bolster the offensive line.

And there's also Zac Taylor, whose coaching improved down the stretch, the most notable example being alterations to the blocking schemes up front that produced a massive season-ending stretch for Mixon. It hints at the staff being willing to work around Burrow's skill set, which is critical to success for all involved.

Worst Fit: Miami Dolphins

If Burrow for some reason slipped to the Miami Dolphins at No. 5, there could be problems.

Those Dolphins showed odd direction at the position this year, going with Ryan Fitzpatrick despite making the move for Josh Rosen, who only got in six games. The line in front of the passers coughed up 58 sacks, Fitzpatrick ended as the team's leading rusher, and only one wide receiver breached the 500-yard mark.

This isn't to say Miami isn't on an upswing, but it's going to take time, and the roster might need too much from him too quickly, which could dash his development. The Dolphins just brought on 67-year-old Chan Gailey to lead the offense, yanking him from retirement, which could have some interesting results in a league that has moved on rapidly since his coaching days.
