Trade for Dalton and let Burrow rest for the next 4 games.

So a team that is damn near a lock for the bottom-tier of the NFL is more prepared for a surprise injury to their starting QB than we are nearly 2 months after our QB was carted off the field.

Getting the 1st pick in the year where someone like Burrow was available was our miracle.  We are currently in the "How are you handling that miracle I sent you?" phase.

A top 5 pick would be nice, but man oh man if we punt on this season that's going to be a pretty bad look.  Top 5?  Imagine us getting a top 5 pick in an NFL that currently has teams that lost Aaron Rodgers 3 minutes into the season, finished with a handful of wins last  year and are starting rookie QBs who are currently banged up already, teams that are the Chicago Bears and the Browns and the AZ Cardinals, teams that gave Daniel Jones a buttload of money, and teams that went into the year with Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield at QB.

Finishing in that group is some tragic stuff.
