I don't think Kyle and John are going to be as QB hungry as us fans are.
I'm seeing a trade down scenario for more picks. Too soon to look into the possibilities. But I'm thinking they need 10 picks minimum, to help fill a roster that's potentially losing 20 or more to free agency.
I have a feeling this roster is going to look a lot different next year.
Imagine how many of those free agents we can keep long term by dropping Jimmy and trusting the fates with QB for one season. If we somehow made the Stafford trade, we'd upgrade the QB position while not worsening our cap situation (pending contract renegotiation).
Of course, in the NFL we play for the present, not the future.
But consider a world where we can get Wilson and release Jimmy. We'll get a net of about 15 million in cap space, which could save us two or three of those more important free agents.
