How about AJ McCarron

The 2016 draft doesn't look like it'll be a particularly great QB draft. I don't think there's any Lucks or Newtons in it. Was looking around, the #1 QB seems to be a player for the California Golden Bears. They were 4-5 in the Pac12, and 4-0 outside of it for a 8-5 record. That final win? Over freaking Air Force in the "Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl". Not quite a National Championship, or even a major bowl.

I don't buy that McCarron's stock will rise from sitting on the bench in 2016. He'll be a year older, a year closer to FA. Right now if someone trades for McCarron, they get 2 years of a 5th rounder's contract before they actually have to pay him the ridiculous QB prices out there.

A "solid backup" isn't worth Ezekiel Elliot, or some other probably great rookie who can start immediately and make a difference. Starters are always worth more than backups.

Sorry 4 games of starting is not going to move a 5th round pick to a 2nd round pick.. and i dont see his stock moving much next year... and the big reason we don't want to trade him is we have no backup.. and we don;t need to be like Dallas this year.. a good team with no backup QB
