1st pick overall in better shape

I would love for them to trade the #1 overall and get a haul of picks, somewhere around three first rounders (two this year and one next?) plus maybe even a player (Putney, get Putney!).  The reality is, though, they will take Burrow because they need a QB and they fear looking stupid more than succeeding when it comes to draft moves. 

There is almost always a team wanting to move up to the top of Rd 2, though, and maybe they could acquire a few picks there.  I would also be down for seeing what they could get for Atkins and Dunlap but it won't happen.
