He’s a good QB when his team is running the ball well but if he’s asked to make throws in crunch time, he hasn’t been able to do that. To me I’d rather just roll with Heineke

I've been mostly against trading for a QB, unless he is a tier 1 guy - at the right price. I would have traded a 1st & 3rd for Stafford, and would do the same for Carr. I'd probably trade more than that for Watson, but I'm not really interested in trading for a backup like Mariota. Would rather sign someone in free agency.
I do think something has to be done before the draft though, because you don't know how that is going to play out. That doesn't mean you can't also draft a QB if the opportunity arises. #19 is too high for Mac Jones in my opinion. If Fields or Lance falls into the teens, I wouldn't be opposed to them trading up a few spots, if they think he's their guy. It's not likely though with all the teams looking to address the QB position this offseason. I think it's probably more likely that if they draft a QB, it's in rounds 3-5 (Newman, Mond...).
