Don't look at the trade (it's over with there's no use in crying about it now) look the ripple effect of the trade.

Example what if they trade back and get an additional 2nd & 4th round pick for the 13th pick (or possibly more) while being able to resign a stud like Zach Brown. Is that really that bad? Fuller will be missed for sure but it's not the end of the world. The extra pick or picks could help boost the holes in the roster. I feel we could come out okay under the circumstances given honestly, if the FO makes these type of moves in the future. You never know what might happen, but I feel good about having the 13th pick as potential trade bait. No one saw Jonathan Allen being there last year....but what if Mayfield or Josh Allen is there this year?

Great post.
I agree about there being some really strong talent there at 13. There will be a run of QB's in the top 10, but I feel like Mayfield with his arrest, emotional issues, size concerns and lack of experience in a pro offense like ours, he will drop to us at 13.
Also combined with there being several QB desperate teams that might want or need to give up some value for 13th pick to get a QB.
