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?

You are then locked in with Fields for 2 years and they are expensive years especially the last one. Then you add in a high draft pick QB and that is a lot of money tied up in QB over the next 2 years.
Honestly though, it is probably better to just take multiple swings at it, in baseball they give you three strikes for a reason. Billy Beane says if he needs a starting pitcher in the majors it takes 3 guys in the minors, because 1 flames out and gets hurt, one doesn’t develop, and then the third one you get a guy. Take as many stabs at it as you can and see if you find a guy. Just make sure the guys you pass on wouldn’t have turned Fields into that guy.
