That's true, but just depends how Cincy views each player. I just think it will be hard to get them to trade. They don't have a long history of trading picks. 

I still think Atlanta is going QB. They can sit somebody 1 or 2 years behind Ryan, and be ready to go. They may not see another top pick like this anytime soon. They would also be blocking us, their division rival at the same time. 

I can't remember any team intentionally sitting a top 4 pick for 1-2 years.  I'm sure it's happened, but that's a TON of draft capital to be sitting on the pine, especially for a new coaching staff.  I know Atlanta hates us, but they would be better suited to trade out of #4 to a QB needy team (besides the Panthers) opposed to spiting us by sitting their #1 pick for up to two years.  That's just bass ackwards.

If Wilson gets past #2 you start looking to get to #3

If he goes #2 and another QB goes #3 or #4 you start clawing to get to #5

I’d honestly prefer Fields or Lance over Wilson. I think they have more potential, no injury concerns, and NFL bodies.

Just saying, it would not surprise me. Especially if its only a 1 year sit. 

My opinion for us, sit at 8 and see what happens. If you are trading up, you go to 3 to make sure you get Wilson/Fields

Or you sit at 8 and get a LT that will help you for years.

For the record, I am 100% against moving up to #3 even at the risk of missing out on one of the 'big four' QBs.  There's too much talent in the top 10 to say you HAVE to move up and likewise is dumb to mortgage future first rounders for one player. 

[Basbear]

If all 4 blue chip QBs are gone by 8, theres still blue chip players available.

The way I see it is, the worst out come is getting Kyle Pitts....... Im 10/10 perfectly fine with the worst scenario.

I don't want Tua at all for any reason. 

I'd rather lose next year and get Howell or Rattler.

If QB3 goes #3 then going to #5 might be pointless.

I could see Atlanta trading down, makes a lot of sense for them, and I don't see them trading down with us.  

I would be somewhat surprised if 4 QBS went top 4, but if 3 went top 3, I would be nervous as heck with Atlanta's spot.

Also you are assuming that the team likes QB 3 or 4 equally.  As fans a lot of us would be happy with any of the top 4 QBs, but there is a very good chance that a lot of teams will like one a good bit more than the others.

If the team decides they like QB3 that much more than QB4 they just need to go to #3.

If you are unwilling to give up the assets to do that, which is a valid argument, than just be patient but you have to be willing to accept the fact there is a chance you won't get any of the top 4 QBs.
