The Case For Trading the Farm for Lawrence/Fields

As I've said elsewhere, this team was a legit playoff team with competent QB play this year.  8 of our 10 losses were at the hands of bad QB'ing on the final drive with a chance to tie or win.  

That being said, imagine we trade whatever it takes to move up for Lawrence or Fields...  now, I know we'd have to have a willing partner, but let's assume we do.  If you give up, say 3 first rounders - imagine we are a perennial contender every year moving forward with that franchise QB in place that we acquired with said picks; first round picks in the late 20s, or God willing at 32, isn't nearly as much of a loss as the blanket term "first round pick" would imply, especially when the most important position on your roster is secured.

Did you watch Fields against Northwestern?

I'd need to see a very significant improvement over that game before I'd be willing to trade up for him.

Yeah, I haven't seen that game, but I've heard it was horrible.  In all honesty, I think its possible he falls from the Top 3, so this is really a discussion about trading up for Lawrence.

I'd trade up for Wilson before I'd trade up for Fields.

But to be honest, I'm not sure I'd trade up.

We've been within a score in the vast majority of our losses.

A better QB helps, absolutely, but the team just isn't good enough from top to bottom. 

Maybe we scrape into the Playoffs with a good QB this year, but we'd be one and done when we got there. 

We're not in a position to trade the farm for a single player. We need an injection of talent on this roster BADLY. The 2020 Draft was just the first step - we need two more Drafts like that to be a consistently good team.
