This gives them a guaranteed 3rd in next years draft (2018) rather than a 3rd in the draft after (2019) plus potentially a 5th or 6th. If they can find a strong Tackle prospect I would look at that as well.

They can then keep Driskel without eating up a roster spot, whom I think has HUGE potential. If you guys read up on him I think you'll find an outstanding prospect with an incredibly high ceiling. Get the picks for McCarron now, give Driskel more reps, and move along. 6-5 QBs with fantastic arms who are big time athletes are rare. Driskel was a huge prospect out of college and would have been a star at Florida. He went 11-2 there as a Sophomore, but broke his leg and lost his starting job the following year. Bad luck, but the kid is a monster in the waiting should AD go down.

Driskel looked pretty solid in the game against Tampa, makes it that much easier to say trading McCarron is a no-brainer at this point. Get what you can get for him, and roll with 2 QBs like everyone else does. Keep a rookie on the practice squad if need be, but there is not reason to keep all 3 on this roster and Driskel will be picked up if waived at this point with how he looked.
