That is the correct way to go about it.
Trade back, build a team, then when you are a QB away, move up and get him like KC and Baltimore.
Also, look at where San Fran found their guy after building in the draft...a trade.
Look at the Titans, who swapped out of the first overall with the Rams. Rams got Goff and then have taken a step back. The Titans signed a guy to fill in (Tannehill) while using all the draft capital from the Rams to build a playoff team. Now, the Titans can move up, get a QB and they are a Super Bowl contender.
Why draft a guy and then let him sit here and lose and get hammered behind a bad O-line and get...dare I say it Bengalized. Build a team, then plug in a QB.
I see where you're coming from and you have some good points I just disagree.
Goff did go to the Super Bowl before that step back, and the Rams were very aggressive in free agency. The Chiefs and the Ravens were very aggressive in free agency. They were successful trading up for mid and late round QB's yes but in my opinion you can't count on that.
Every team needing a QB right now would trip over themselves to the podium to take Burrow. Of course you can't guarantee he is the next Joe Montana, but you have to pull the trigger and take a chance. They have cap space, they can trade Andy Dalton for a 2nd or 3rd at worst. They can tag and trade AJ Green for a possible 1st or 2nd. They have plenty of options to spend money, make good trades and build quickly around a guy like Burrow.
The problem is, of course, the Brown family...
