Need Help - Trying to add draft and turn fillets into cones

For context see second image.
Basically I need to HOLD THE TOP EDGES of this part in their current positions, but then add draft.

It works without the fillets, but when I add the fillets it fails.

NOTE: This is a training exercise, but this happens often in mold making, when one part needs to fit together with another part (for example: If this part had a LID that it needed to fit with).

So I want to hold the upper edges, then add draft with the vertical datum as the pull direction.

This will turn the fillets into cones.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Is there a draft tool in FreeCAD that can do this?
  2. Is there an add in or workshop I can use to do this?
  3. If not, should I do it with a Ruled Surface? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
