I like how John Dorsey started taking impact players like Peters and Morse and traded up for Conley, as well as trading for Grubbs.
It was a breath of fresh air, but we need to trade up for a QB. It's time.

There are more failures with trading up than there are with trading down for extra picks. Trading up for Conley wasn't a 'splash' move like you were mentioning moving up in the first round. We are committed to Smith for 2 more seasons with his contract, get that into your head. He's a capable game manager, our money and picks are better spent at this point going for talent on defense.
