Jesus christ that is an absolute haul. Negates Derrick Brown, Jaycee, Ickey, and another first round talent. I mean I guess but I wouldn't particularly like it

As well as YGM (yawn) and Chinn. Even with all that loss, Burrow is a stud so I’d probably have to be reluctantly ok with it. I’d have flipped my poo at the time though

Can you trade 4 years of picks?

You technically can once that year's draft starts. So for example, in 2020, you could only trade picks in the 20, 21, and 22 drafts before the beginning of the draft, but once the Bengals were on the clock, the 23 picks come into play.

No.  As good as Burrow is, still, no.

If you had an extremely talented GM, you might be able to do that trade and still be competitive before Burrow's rookie deal ran out.  However, if you had an extremely talented GM he would negotiate a better deal from the start.

Nope.

Putting any QB ever in their prime on this team would be horrible.

This is exactly like what we talked about with Deshaun Watson.

Selling the farm and not being able to build around him would only lead to poor performance, injury, Derek Carr syndrome, etc.

Meanwhile, your future is mortgaged for years and you cannot afford anything.

If you knew he would turn out the same way he is now it honestly would be tempting. There is just no way to know that. I’m not a fan of 3 first round picks for a “sure thing” rookie QB, much less 4 and some. The biggest concern would be him possibly saving Rhule’s job as already mentioned.

    • Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.
    • I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.
    • Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
