Moving up is sexy, it's fun, it's what's for dinner these days. But moving up will set the team's growth back three, maybe five years. Possibly longer. This team has so many holes, that to throw away all these picks on a QB who might be good is insanity.
If we can somehow move up and still have 1 2nd and 1 3rd...I'd be willing to listen. But only for Rosen or Mayfield. Trading up for any of the other QBs is insanity. Especially since Jackson has a very good chance of being there at 12. Hell, he has a good chance of being there at 22.
I'd rather pick an elite player at 12 - Roquan Smith, Derwin James, Vita Vea....etc. Use the rest of the picks on holes like WR, OL, DL, LB....
Throwing away this draft along with a first next next year? No thanks.
From what I am reading we wouldn't have to give up anything next year (Maybe a 4th -6th but IDC on that), So I disagree with this outlook especially now since we finally have the ammo to get a "Top Prospect" at QB. Which Has been our biggest problem. (Couldn't find a QB) I feel we have waited/reached on to many QBs for us not to finally take a chance on a "Top Prospect" We will still be able to keep our first round next year and like you say above we will have a whole lot of cap space to spend next year as well.
Moving up to #2 = No Playoffs for the next three years
