You add the QB last because you need a rookie deal for your QB to pay what should be the big pieces around them. If you add the QB first, by the time you get the pieces around them they are trending towards their big pay day and you start losing the pieces around them. This is how Steelers did it with Ben, How 49ers did it with Kap, how the Eagles won a SB (I know wentz was hurt for playoffs), how LA got to the SB, how Seattle won a super bowl, this is how Carolina made a SB, and so on. Unless you draft a sure fire hall of famer who is elite out the gate, which this class doesn't have, then you need to have most the team set when the QB gets there otherwise you have to really get creative with cap management, and that ain't us either.

The easy route you discuss is going QB first because that is the easiest for fans to stomach. Recent history shows us that isn't how you build a contender today. Hell you cold argue Cleveland did it right getting the core in place then bringing Baker in and finishing it off with vets. 

I think Burrow is the real deal.  I mean, there is a lot of tape on this guy and he makes some amazing throws.  If the Bengals pass this year on QB, then they better get one of those good ones next 2021 draft...

I do not think Finley is the answer but one never knows...I really think he is a natural in the pocket.  Cannot teach intangibles that he has demonstrated.
