Look at the draft history and tell me the odds that pick 31 comes in this year and produces anywhere close to the level you know you'll get from Waller.

This is the absolute correct time to trade a pick for a player. The team is in the Super Bowl win now window, as once Burrow is off his rookie contract, things get real...and quick. Pick 31 might be a stud or maybe the next Price, Ross, Ced, etc...

Waller gives you a known, a draft pick is always an unknown. 

I get your general sentiments. Here are mine. The bengals are fairly fortunate to be in the situation they’re in. The roster doesn’t really have a lot of glaring holes. Sure I’d like legit competition at cb and lg. a te and safety to groom. Depth for both lines and lb. This doesn’t need to be a sexy draft for us. A solid meat and potatoes draft.

I think we are better off preparing for that expensive future by drafting guys now and having them ready to replace some of those expensive guys. Both safeties are on the last year of their deals. We may not be able to keep our 3 stud wrs.

Then there’s his age to consider. Is he starting to break down? I dunno. I think hurst can be quite serviceable this year.

And then there’s this:

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that there is "zero chance" Raiders TE Darren Waller will be traded.
Well, that would seem to settle that thread. It may or may not be true that Waller was actually offered to the Packers in the initial Davante Adams trade, but either way it seems like the Raiders are happy with the way that worked out for them. Waller has almost no guaranteed money left on his deal, and probably deserves a raise at some point in the near future.

Kinda makes this all a moot point if it’s true
