How has Scherff looked as of late? He has been decent in the past. Might be a nice pick up for us.

To answer your question, I'd look at signing at least one top lineman. I'd rather it be a younger guy who can stick around for a few years, but I wouldn't hate bringing back Whit for one year.
I'd also look at bringing in a veteran pass catching TE. Eifert is pretty washed, Uzomah is meh and Drew Sample - at best - can't be relied upon in 2019. Lastly, I'd trade Dalton or cut him loose, then sign a veteran like Mike Glennon, Drew Stanton or Blake Bottles.
After signing those 2-3 players in free agency, I'd focus the draft on solidifying the team around Burrow. Look at top LBs, pass rushers and maybe WR's and more o-linemen.
I sure wouldn't be buying anymore merchandise that is for sure. Would be pathetic if we traded the top pick right when the
best prospect at QB in years is coming out right when we need a new Franchise QB. Have to bring in a top Lineman in FA
regardless and I actually think we will to help Burrow out. He will be the pick.

Dairus Leonard + Quinton Nelson+ 2 additional 1st + 2 2nds for Joe Burrow.
Now I seriously doubt that the Colts would offer that but if they did that would be a hell of a deal to pass up.
It would have to be a massive deal anyways for a team to get Burrow.
No way would they offer that much and I still wouldn't do it.
Get a top Lineman and a decent LB that can cover and tackle in FA. Draft Burrow and a WR early and continue to build the
OL and the LB core up through the rest of the Draft. We would be better off this way anyways IMO.

Depending on what happens with AJ I might consider a vet WR as well. I just have the gut feeling AJ will be gone, perhaps I'm wrong ? And I have very little faith in Ross. So that leaves Boyd and Tate (who still has a little ? ) Rookie WR's typically take some time to develop.
Have been saying Amari Cooper would be a guy I would look at if we want a vet WR and AJ wants too much.
