If we trade the #1 pick for a bunch of other picks and take a QB later in the draft then maybe he sits, but I doubt it even then.  Dalton was a 2nd round pick and he started opening day.

If we end up taking Tua then maybe we give him a year to heal, but I pray that does not happen.

This - the whole post.   But the bolded part should encourage us.   If anyone is good enough to start right away it's Burrow.

We just better make sure we give him the protection and the weapons he needs.  That needs to be the # 1 off season goal.
