At #9 this year, they should have their pick at either the 1st, or 2nd QB off the board. Do you take that knowing you don't have to force him onto the field too soon (day 1) because you give Lock a chance to fail first?

Or, do you just gut it through the year with Lock, hoping you suck bad enough to get you into the top 5, so you don't have to risk possibly trading up too many picks to get in range for the #1/#2 QB?

As far as Carroll and Schneider go, maybe they're both on the same page and under the impression that this wont be a complete reset, but merely just a retooling of sorts. Maybe they think that the draft picks they get in this Wilson trade, as well as the money they'll save in cap space for trading him, on top of the cap space they already had (7th most iirc) will help them restock quickly.

Heck with the egos those kinda guys have, they might think they'll just find another Wilson in the mid rounds. Hey, we did it once, why can't we do it again? Who says we got to draft a QB high? We already showed them once... Kind of thing lol.

WR Tyler Lockett is said to be on the trade block for them as well.

He'd certainly give us a speed receiver. He clocked 4.33/40 at his Combine.
