You're talking about trading a future first for an unknown that isn't a QB. That's an extremely risky proposition. It doesn't often work out for a myriad of reasons and it almost never works out when your doing it for need instead of trying to grab a game changing player.
And by the way, I find it ironic that you're saying we can just sign blue chippers next FA period. We have money RIGHT NOW and haven't hit on anybody but Joe Thuney, with you being one of the most vocal critics. So for some reason, this offseason is stacking up to be a failure but next offseason is going to be a magical buffet of blue chip free agents? Come on man, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth.

It all depends on who is available. But if two low firsts and a low third gets you someone who projects to be your starting left tackle they will do that deal in a heart beat. Problem is that compensation is not enough to get either of the projected top two tackles in the draft. Might not get the projected number 3 tackle... So yeah probably not going to work.
