Why not pick up Fields 5th year and draft a QB first also? (alien.top)

is it not possible to pick up Fields fifth year option to keep them around for another year, while you draft the top QB prospect? You could then trade whichever one doesn’t work out. sounds crazy but crazier things have been done. Any thoughts?

I actually don’t hate this but you would probably need a strong front office and reputable head coach to pull off a move like this. There was no noise in KC when they essentially did this. Alex Smith was a pro and they had him play one more year and then moved on.
