Look at this article and some of the draft capital we could gain by trading out of the top spot.

Next year has Lawrence, Justin Fields, Tua (guessing he goes back to show he is healthy), and Jake Frohm. Lots of talent there especially if you have built a roster this year by getting more guys. 

Trust me, I am all in on Trevor Lawrence, and if you move back from 1 this year and get an extra 1 next year, you have the draft capital to move up and get him next year after building up the roster around him.

None of those are actual trade offers.  They're hypotheticals, and even then, the low end offers suck.  

If Lawrence is your guy, and he's.a better prospect than Burrow, it will take more trade capital to move up and get him.  Plus, if next year's QB class is so great, why would any team with a bunch of premium pick trade for Burrow.  If using extra picks this year to fill holes for an incoming QB is the smart play, then those teams should just do that instead.

Lawrence is a good prospect, but people are putting him on a pedestal because his team is undefeated.  That's not just him.  That's his coaches and the talent around him, too.  If he was doing what he's currently doing on an 8-4 squad, nobody is talking about him as a 1OA.  His numbers are nowhere close to what DeShaun Watson did in the same offense.
