No need.
Good businesses run the way they do because they always have a replacement lined up for departing personnel. They don't let the good employee leave without having someone ready and willing to take their place. If the person that is the next man up isn't cutting it, you don't release other people while you still look for a replacement for the departed person.
When Whitworth left, we tried to replace him with OG or Fisher... one would take over for Whit and the other would take over for Smith. Not a bad plan, except those 2 flamed out and busted on us, it happens. So while looking for better OT players, we let Zeitler go, then we let Bodine go. So before we fixed the OTs spots, we now have a hole at OG and OC.
Same thing with the WRs. We had Sanu and Jones... we let both go at the same time. We didn't replace them and Ross and Boyd haven't done what those to did. Boyd yes, Ross no.
So now we have holes at OT (possibly both), both OG spots, we need another WR even if we keep Green and if we don't then we definitely need a WR. We are replacing our QB with someone that in only 1 season, produced at a high level on an already decent LSU team. While having a lot of holes to fix and hoping that 3rd, 4th and 5th rounders will be good enough to fix them.
We might get lucky and hit on every draft pick, but odds are we won't.
So, no, I am not from the future. I just know how poorly this organization is ran and don't see Burrow succeeding here.
