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?

Either fields is gone after this season or you pick up the option. There's no sense in letting him be your starting QB in a contract year where if he pans out you have to try to sign him.
