The reason the top 3 picks garner so much in return is that those players at the top often have the most potential to be franchise changers. I wouldn't give that up. If we trade down and net a bunch of picks, that may sound nice to some people, but when will we ever be in this position (to take a top QB) again?
Basically, even if this works the way you want it to, we'd just have a better roster, but no QB. I'd just rather hang on to that QB and find other ways to improve the roster. We'll still have a bunch of good picks + upwards of $100 million in cap space. This roster can be reshaped in a major way without sacrificing that rare chance at the top QB prospect.
Why do we have to have a top 3 pick to get another QB? I can think of multiple franchise QB that have been drafted outside of the first RD or late in first RD.
