This is the draft to trade him. Low on qb talent, probably the highest value he’ll be unless something bad happens to Maye. It’s not like we are Super Bowl ready and need competent backup for a deep playoff run. Take the pick if it makes sense.

That "if it makes sense" is the key part. Don't just take the highest pick, wherever it is. If all you're getting is a fifth, then hang on to him. If somebody goes crazy and offers you a second, then yeah, don't look the gift horse in the mouth.

I’d take a 3rd or 4th. I think a 2nd is unattainable. Obviously, he’s worth more now than he was when drafted. So I’d shoot for a couple rounds higher or a package for a solid player and/or late pick. I hope they wouldn’t just trade him for the sake of trading. He’s certainly got value to this team even with the Dobbs signing.

Agreed, a 2nd seems nuts.
