re: Joe Burrow vs Felipe Franks

Yeah I would give Burrow a grade of 83 and Franks an 80. They are not far off from one another with Franks being a little more physical and Burrow having better intangibles. No knock on Burrow though as he is tough as heck and also can hurt you running the ball. I think Burrow actually had more rush yards than Franks but the difference was basically all the OT's in the A&M game.

Their stats were pretty similar last year but Franks had the better O-line, and I think Burrow will have that advantage this year.
