Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

2.) would actually like to trade down for more picks similar to what the Colts did in 18. 

3.) Agreed Dalton is worth 20 million. Think your a bit harsh on him but I would not sign him to another extension. Infact if I'm GM he is not on the Roster next season.

The issue with waiting on taking on a QB with the rationale that you like lower rated prospects better is that if you think that, then other teams are going to think that and take them before they fall to you.  If nobody else thinks that, then you likely missed on your evaluation.  If you're picking third and you're convinced Burrow, Fromm, or Hurts is a franchise QB, then you take them at 3.  

Fromm has arm strength issues and could very well be another Andy Dalton type QB.  Hurts and Burrow are one year wonders that transferred to get out from behind other QB's.  Hurts was buried behind Tua at bama, which is kind of a smoking gun that he's not as good a prospect.  

Trading down sounds great, but only really seems to work out if you get a massive haul including multiple firsts.  However, trading down when you're in the market for a franchise QB is pretty much suicide.  The Browns employed similar philosophies when they got Quinn and Manziel, and it set them back years.
