For sure, I'd it in a heartbeat too

I don't know man.  Would you do that for DeShaun Watson?  For Cam Newton?  Are we sure Lawrence is better than they are?  I might do it for Mahomes (knowing what we know now)... but even then, you're only moving up ONE SPOT.  I can't see us giving up two 1sts and a 2nd (if we have the 2nd overall pick)... that would be unprecedented. The draft is such a crap shoot, and most of us just form our opinions on what we hear the "experts" say.  When Mahomes, Watson, and Trubisky all came out in 2017, the only one of those guys to make Mel Kiper's Top 25 was Trubisky at #18.  That seems comical now.

I'd give up something for him, but I wouldn't sell the farm. Check out this chart:

This is the chart used by most NFL teams as a rough guideline to assess trade value for draft picks. The difference between #1 and #2 overall is 400 points, or the equivalent of one mid-2nd round pick. I get that Lawrence is perceived as a generational talent, but I just can't see anyone giving up two 1sts (including the 2nd overall pick) and a 2nd to get it done.
