Folks hate to hear it, but even after picking Burrow, it's going to take a couple drafts to fix this team. We just don't have enough picks and with Dalton playing bad, we aren't going to be able to trade him, and with Green injured and not playing in years it seems, no one is trading for him, which means we won't pick up any picks since they screwed up the trade deadline and didn't have any foresight into the worth of Dalton/Green this offseason.

Yea I wish we could go QB, WR, OT  early. But we are completely ignoring the Defense yet again with that strategy.

I agree. With the caveat that we shouldn't reach in the 2nd round for a defender. If there's a LB that is there that is worth the pick, then I think we should take him.

But if there's a first round grade OT/OG at 33 and the closest LB has a late 2nd round grade on him, I'd hope we don't reach for the LB just to fill a need.

Like you said, it'll take a few years to fully rebuild this team. It'd be best to always prioritize talent over need (relatively speaking, of course.)
