As I do not disagree with your assessment, a team who has a window to contend now is not likely to have as high draft picks to offer for trade as a team who is desperate for a quarterback. QB is still the most important position on a football team, and teams have shown over and again they are willing to reach for "the next star QB." If Cincinnati is smart, I know that's a huge assumption, they will get as much as they can for that top pick to benefit them.
Could be. I don't know; of all the teams in the league who might not blink and take a player whether he wants to be there or not, it's the Bengals. Mike Brown is pretty stubborn.
