Point is I'd rather be too aggressive in landing my QB than not aggressive enough. You don't want to sell the whole future for him in a Herschel type deal of course.

I wouldn't take a QB in round 2, because I just don't see a franchise guy outside of the players I mentioned and if we spent a 2nd rounder on a QB, it would be harder to justify using a 1st rounder on a QB in 2019, which we likely have to do. Besides, I really do not like Josh Allen, Luke Falk or Clayton Thorsen and those are the guys I have projected in round 2. To me, picking any of those 3 would be a waste. In the scenario you mentioned, I would likely try and trade completely out of the first round to acquire a first rounder in 2019 and some additional picks. I would then likely take a QB in the 3rd round, purely out of desperation, maybe Riley Ferguson or Logan Woodside, if either were available. 

Even if this entire scenario came to pass, I'd still be against signing Kirk Cousins. He's just way too expensive and he's not a top tier QB. He's not worth putting ourselves in future "cap Hell."

Agreed.

Didn't realize Darnold announced he's staying in school

Just have to wait and see, it won't surprise me if we sign Bortles and I doubt Tom and Dave trades away all there high future picks.  One of those QBs will be there when we pick,  I could see 2 of the top 5 being there when we pick

The correct order.
