Trade a 2nd or perhaps 3rd Rd Pick for Derek Carr( who the Raiders want out) he would fit this offense perfectly.
3 first + 2 additional seconds would really help the Oline and defense.
Carr is essentially a more expensive Dalton. Not only are you giving up some of the draft capital you gained via giving away Burrow, you're also paying Carr $4.5 million more (cap hit) than Dalton, and roughly $14 million more than we'd be paying Burrow on a team friendly rookie deal (based on Kyler Murray's contract from last season).
A smart team cuts/trades dead weight like Dalton/Glenn/Kirkpatrick, fills some holes via FA and the other 6+ draft picks we have, and takes the top QB prospect we've had the opportunity to take since Palmer. Having Burrow on a cheap rookie contract only helps that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
