That is the correct way to go about it.

Trade back, build a team, then when you are a QB away, move up and get him like KC and Baltimore. 

Also, look at where San Fran found their guy after building in the draft...a trade.

Look at the Titans, who swapped out of the first overall with the Rams. Rams got Goff and then have taken a step back. The Titans signed a guy to fill in (Tannehill) while using all the draft capital from the Rams to build a playoff team. Now, the Titans can move up, get a QB and they are a Super Bowl contender.

Why draft a guy and then let him sit here and lose and get hammered behind a bad O-line and get...dare I say it Bengalized. Build a team, then plug in a QB.

San Fran traded for Jimmy G 3 years ago.  They were 6-10 his first year and 4-12 last year.  This was the first year he actually stayed healthy.  They went and got their QB, then they built around him.  They did not build a team up, then go get him.

The Rams actually made it to the SB before taking a step back, and the main reasons they took a step back were that they're in an ultra tough division and they've starting losing talent because they went whole hog in FA to fill holes quickly and had to resign star players like Donald and Gurley.  The Titans are also now in a similar situation where they will have to shell out huge money for both Tannehill and Derrick Henry.
