Not really a fair question. I didn't know for sure then what I know now. I'm also not an LSU fan so I'm not as emotionally invested in Burrow as most of you are...
My big thing is for this team to look back and realize that trading draft picks left and right and kicking salary cap problems down the road is a leech on your back that keeps you from being flexible and bringing in enough talent to keep all positions in good shape. Another way of saying that is I don't care about having a particular player but I do care about them keeping themselves in a good place to keep the team stocked and capable of winning every year. That isn't hindsight, it is foresight.
What it boils down to is this team has weakened their options to the point where they can't be expected to be particularly competitive FOR 2-3 years away unless they start to pull a few rabbits out of the draft hat in the next two years. That is a big ask for any team.
