Burrow is not franchise ready yet especially with a recovery that is going to set him back plus he missed 2/3s of the season this year.. so he is still on a learning curve also, he needs to improve getting rid of ball and moving better out of pocket.. also it is the NFL .. QBs get hurt all the time...  Dallas invested heavy in Oline and Dak got hurt...  Steelers invested heavy in Oline and Ben got hurt...  i don;t want a revolving door of FA lineman that are gone in 2 or 3 years when we would start turning the team around... this team needs more draft picks.. if we can get 5 to 6 picks in top 120 that is the way to go.  We need way more than Burrow to win...

You act like you can't sign FA's to the same 4 years draft picks are signed to.  You can even sign them for longer than that if they agree.  Do you think guys like Thuney or Scherff are going to sign 2-3 year deals? 

If you want to throw Burrow out there behind an OL filled with typical Bengal bargain bin FA's and a couple of rookie 2nd day picks, then I don't know what to tell you at this point.  

You take any potential trade into consideration.  With the cap going down, you're highly unlikely to run into the kind of bidding war scenario that's going to yield the king's ransom of picks you're talking about, though.  What are you going to do with our salary cap space?  Overpay to keep Lawson, WJIII, and Spain?
