If they have say 3 first round picks then you have 5 years to win a superbowl because mostly likely 2 will be gone after that. I know you can argue the QB would be gone in 5 but Mike Brown pays his performing players what they are worth so most likely he would get a big extension after 4 years.
I know the trade need more picks is popular but a franchise QB you can build around is smarter because you can do it more than once.
I should have prefaced my definition of a haul. The updated trade value chart says it'd take Miami's 3 first rounders & a 4th. For Burrow, it'd take 5-6 picks in the first 3 rounds in '20 & '21, with 3 of them being 1st rounders. (And just in case Nate sees this and asks the question on who the QB would be, I'd sign Teddy Bridgewater to a 3 year deal and still draft a QB in the late first or 2nd round.)
Trying to understand your 5 year window argument. Mike Brown extends good players, but not the potentially good players they'd take with the extra picks?
Again, I only want to trade the pick if the Bengals aren't aggressive in free agency. If they aren't aggressive, I think the likelihood of Burrow succeeding goes way down.
