And for the record, I wouldn't do this trade. I don't think any QB in this draft class is worth trading up for, plus we keep hearing NFL teams aren't as interested in Haskins as the media has been. If I were to trade AJ green, it'd be for a first rounder straight up, not a first rounder swap. Bengals will need an extra pick to (try to) help compensate for losing their best offensive player.
Although I disagree about Haskins being a media-generated hype...the kid was amazing although he only played one year. Here he could sit for two years if needed and learn the game. Look at who else sat: Brady, Rodgers, and Brees.
Maybe also get the Jet's 2nd rounder? I think everyone is looking too much at what they see in AJ vs. what the team will not be able to afford if Dalton and Green reach new contracts.
