That is a tough one to answer, as there are so many variable that come into play, under any trade scenario. Strictly going by the options that you have listed, I went with 2nd round pick.
With that said, I think that with the right trade partner (team really needing QB that isn't totally raw), the Bengals could get 1st round value from AJ. We as fans sometimes overvalue the guys on our own team, because we like them. However, all that AJ has is 4.5 games in the driver's seat. He did well, but the Earth didn't move, and no "QB controversies" resulted from his performance. I mean, there is a big difference in taking over on Division winning team with veteran offense around him, compared to how poor he could have looked taking over for a poorly performing team.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
