Yeah, we will have to agree to disagree on trading Burrow.
If we want more picks I take Burrow and do what JJ22 says here.

And who can blame them? We need more picks. We won't do much in free agency with Billings and Dennard likely being treated as key free agent signing, so the draft is going to have to be the fix. And that's hard to do with just 7.
Not drafting Burrow isn't the option though.
The fix is commit to turning the roster over and really work to trade players like Dalton, tag and trade Green, trade Glenn, Kirpatrick and Gio. Get as many picks as you can, and get the QB. This draft is deep at WR, CB, RB and some good OT's in the first couple rounds. With a couple extra picks and a sacrifice to the roster here or there for the greater good of the long run would be the ideal way to go.
Until or if that happens, fantasize all you want about grabbing all these favorite prospects in the first 3 rounds. As of now it's 3 picks and hopefully they make the best of them. Trading Burrow is off the table. Even if it takes a couple years to "rebuild" instead of one.
It is interesting that during draft season you always wish for all these picks and that blockbuster trade to a desperate team in need of a QB. One that will give you multiple picks in future years. Here we are at that moment and you can justify passing.
Now this is more like it if we want more picks....
This also opens up a lot of cap for signing all our picks and some FA's after the Draft.
