If Watson fell to the 2nd, would you give up next year's first and a third to get up there and grab him?

So let's say Cunningham is our 1st and we grab Watson via a trade up using next year's first as ammunition - you on board?

I'm reluctant, to be honest. A) I worry about Watson's potential but more critically B) I'd rather find a way to draft him at 31 and get that 5th year option. I'd give up more value to do it.

With Smith back next year (we must accept it), we know any QB we draft isn't starting. And it'll take another year as a starter to really start to feel like the game is slowing down. If you draft Watson (or Peterman or whatever) in the 2nd, you're giving up a TON of excess cap value.

I just do not like trading up into the top of the 2nd. It costs almost as much as trading into the back of the 1st and the 5th year option dries up.

EDIT: Holy shit - for once O.City said something intelligent before I fed it to him. Nicely done, O.City - you're learning.
