is it not possible to pick up Fields fifth year option to keep them around for another year, while you draft the top QB prospect? You could then trade whichever one doesn’t work out. sounds crazy but crazier things have been done. Any thoughts?

    - So you spend a 1st on a QB, who sits on your bench for at least a year.

    - Then you trade that backup QB for a 1st round pick (because you’re not getting multiple picks for a QB that couldn’t beat out your present starting QB)

    - Whereas, if you keep Fields and trade that 1st round pick you could get a 1st round pick this year, next year and additional picks.

    Sorry, but I don’t see a scenario where you have the upper hand after you use your 2024 1st round pick on a backup QB.

      yeah, worst case you have a killer backup in fields and a gadget qb like Hill if your draft pick hits. If he doesn’t, then you still have fields and bagent, and can deal him for a late pick. Doesn’t sound that crazy imo
