'Cause that's pretty far out there. 

If you can improve a roster spot of higher value than QB2 by trading QB2, then you have to do that. That is not de-prioritizing winning/championships, nor is it prioritizing development. It's roster value 101.

So I guess the question then is what is the value of a QB2 on this years squad?
Is it worth a 5th round pick in 2022? a 4th round pick?
Is it only worth young player on a rookie deal? Is it worth an older vet looking to bounce back but who will likely be gone in a few years?

The problem with this is where do you stop. How important is the backup safety, how important is the 4th choice WR? Do we need a 5th CB?

Sadly injuries are a part of the NFL and if one or 2 injuries can destroy your season, you've done a bad job building your roster. You need guys who can come in and play at the same level. You also need competition at positions, i dont like the idea of guys thinking theyre the #1 so job done. They shouldn't crumble having to compete.

I'd rather have Lawrence looking at someone like Minshew playing well in camp and think I need to prove I'm better rather than thinking as hes #1 pick and Trevor Lawrence it's his job.
