It really is terrible when you look at it that way.  Though we still have our 2025 1st round pick, I'm not sure where that one comes into play unless thy reconning the LA trade. In my own copium, let's look at it this way:

1. Keep CMC: continue to muddle about, maybe win two more games under Wilks, slip out of top 10.

2. In 2023: we'd have to trade the farm to go up and get one of the top 3 QBs, or else we have to find a one year rental QB.  Which do we choose?  Win more with a rental, or embrace the suck.  Is Reich the coach?  In this alternate dimension, does Wilks actually get his shot?  So we keep Wilks, playing with JAG QB, running and playing tough D, we extend Burns for the money he wanted since he's the franchise.  We win 8/9 games, close to the division.

3. So here at 2024, we DO NOT have the first overall.  We are at a 12 to 17 for ours, the Rams a little later.  Who do you trade those with to move upwards?  

You could absolutely argue we're better, but again, playing revisionist history is exhausting lol.  Better ask an AI to do it!

Right or wrong, good or bad, it doesn't matter.  We're where we are because of past decisions.  Scott Fitterer was a pretty terrible GM.  Now Dan Morgan, for better or worse is left to pick up those pieces and try to rebuild.

It is a real poo show to look at that way, but it's just not that simple, given how fluid the NFL is.  If one thing changes (like we don't trade CMC), it moves everything else.

100%. Playing revisionist history like that always dumb imo. If we don’t trade CMC, it changes everything that comes after. If we do trade Burns to the Rams, it changes everything that comes after. Jesus, it’s almost like none of these people saw the Ashton Kutcher classic “Butterfly Effect”.

We are lucky there isn't relegation in the NFL. I honestly don't think our roster could make the playoffs in the CFL

Yeah there's that. Morgan better have what not to do from his buddy Fitterer. If he didn't his time as the guy will be a short one. Unfortunately for us if he is a Fitterer clone in team building we will be right back here in 2 years.
