What about
1) Trading any (and all) combination(s) of Gardner, Betts, Ohalete, Trotter and a future pick for the #2 spot.
2) Using the #2 to select Fitzgerald - he will be an amazing 1a receiver opposite Coles. And, in time, he will help immensely with Ramsey's development. Not to mention he is a great receiver in all senses of the word.
3) Then using the #5 pick to select Taylor. No need to explain this one.
In the end, we upgrade our offense AND defense. We don't need to trade Samuels. All he wants is a fair shake in Gibbs' run-oriented/max protect offense and some love from the Front Office. I'm sure he will renegotiate for next year given the opportunity to prove himself.
