Dangle the first pick?

[Whatever]

Of the teams expected to draft in the top 5 other than the Bengals (Redskins, Giants, Dolphins, Jets) only the Dolphins may be in play to draft a QB. If the Bengals plan is to draft Burrow, they could move down a few spots and still get him while selling the 1st pick to the highest bidder of those teams that want to move up to grab Chase Young. Any additional draft pick(s) they would get in this year's draft would come towards the top of the corresponding round, and maybe they could get a current starting caliber OL or LB as part of a deal.

Interesting scenario: Would you do this? Trade the top pick to Redskins, moving down to the No. 2 spot, and get Trent Williams as part of the deal. You still draft Burrow, but now you have Jonah Williams and Trent Williams as your tackles. Draft the best guard at the top of round 2 and you suddenly have upgraded your offensive line BIG TIME.

Just throwing around some ideas. I think if Burrow is the guy, we can trade down and still get him while trying to either fill a hole on the O-Line or at LB, and/or picking up additional picks, including maybe a 2021 1st round pick.

I would not touch Trent Williams with a 10' pole after the issues with Glenn and Green this year.  He was already on the decline, anyways.

I would not put it past Washington to do what the Cards did with Josh Rosen if Haskins doesn't show some major improvement the rest of the year and they have a crack at Burrow..

Point being, I wouldn't trade down unless I was sold on Herbert and got at least another 1st this year.
