I'm not sure that CP has 2 years left in the tank and will basically hang it up at 28. Betts is indeed a great backup, but what "value" do we lose by trading him? He had about 300 rushing yards last season at about 3.7 yards per carry. An insurance policy that gets us 300 rushing yards at RB (where players are most fungible) isn't worth a 2nd round pick IMO. Assuming we could get a 2nd rounder, I'd support trading Betts and using the 2nd rounder to draft a starter or a backup at a more important position (e.g., OT, DT, DE).
