I think the Skins website floated that mock draft that had us taking Baker to gauge fan reaction.

Mayfield is boom or bust. That's a big risk with an already apathetic fan base. Trading up should be totally out of the question unless Rosen is sitting there, but from what I hear his teammates hate him.
Eveyone says just give Kirk his money, including me, but I just don't see Kirk doing a LTD with us. Hope I'm wrong.
Here is why I don't think a trade up is off the table ( but it should be mind you)
You are correct we already have an apathetic fan base in some areas. And while some will celebrate just the fact that we didn't retain Cousins, the folks that thought we should will be very vocal or just plain put off if they go in the direction of any QB will do. I don't think settling for the 4th or 5th QB drafted will get the kind of fan reaction they would be hoping for unless some one like Darnold or Rosen fell on draft day and we got lucky. They got lucky last year.... some how I don't think they would press their luck again, not at the QB position.
All this to say, if they target a guy and it looks like he is not going to be there at 13, Bruce will trade up.
