As for the rest of your post, I'd say you're spot on. Drafting Burrow is 100% the correct move. I have zero doubt about it. That said, will we make ALL the correct moves? Probably not. Is keeping this staff intact the right move? Probably not. Will we part with the players we need to part with (Andy, AJ, Glenn, etc)?
Will we be aggressive in FA to remedy the line, to make sure Burrow isn't pummeled before he can develop?
If we draft Burrow, then have a typical Bengal off-season (sitting on our hands in FA, retaining all coaches, etc) then we'll be putting all the pressure squarely on Burrow's shoulders. Basically setting him up for failure.
You just encapsulated all my off-season fears in one outstanding post!
