So you'd be willing to give up next years 1 or 2?

I'm saying I'd support a decision by the team to move ahead of Buffalo if there were a QB they deemed worthy of the pick(s).

I haven't analyzed what it would cost them to do so. But I'd support it if they don't get hosed from a typical trade value perspective.  I also think there will be some very intriguing prospects available at the Jags first and second round picks w/o having to move up. 

The main point I'm trying to emphasize is that developing QB talent rather than signing it changes the landscape of the Jags' salary cap situation and I wouldn't hesitate to take a guy early.

Wouldn't developing talent at positions on defense currently filled with high salary and older players be a more realistic move for the Jags salary cap situation than gambling on the most difficult position to find a long term solution for? 

If we're moving up in the draft, it'd have to be for Jackson, Allen, or Rudolph. Don't see how they can realistically get one of the other three without mortgaging the next 2-4 drafts. And I'm not comfortable giving up multiple picks for the first three guys I listed.

EDIT: Just remembered KC moved from 27 to 10 last year for Mahomes and it cost them 27, their 3rd that year, and a 2018 first. If Mayfield falls out of the top 10, seems like something that could be doable.
