Yeah i disagree and don't think it's senseless at all to at least have that convo about trading Fields and drafting a QB in the 1st round if you think that QB can or is better than Fields which also gives you 2 extra years of control and lower pay on that new QB. Not saying they should do it but it absolutely makes sense.
Yea, but its the known vs the unknown.
Who knows if the QB you draft can actually play in this league or is better than what you already have?
You're also assuming "extra years" on a rookie contract that could be for a guy that either a) may not be able to actually play well at this level, or b) have a massive learning curve to adjust to and make those extra years irrelevant.
You should probably go with the guy that you already have and that has had some measure of success in this league. And build around him.
Rather than thinking about spending more resources on a new guy with less experience, even more to prove, and who you will STILL need to build around.
