I also said many times it would be hard to trade Dalton because of his salary and all the other free agent QBs on the market, but I am not going to claim I was "right all along" because I don't know all the details.

TBH, I don't think the draft was why we held onto Andy. It was to make sure that Burrow would sign a contract with us.
Worse case: We trade Andy for a late rounder, Florio is right and Joe truly pulls an Eli.
