I can't help you see this. Not within my powers.

That is trading a player for picks. We get no 1st round pick in return for our first round pick(s).

If we trade our #8 for a #3, we didn't "trade away" another first. We literally get one in return. So the cost of that pick swap was one first(2022), a third and a fifth.

I mean, sure but still..... That is the first mentioned. Our #8 doesn't count, as it is a pick swap.

Well...that is what they are saying, anyway.

Not as surprised as you would be at how fast those 300 lb linemen are.

They'll just hang up and assume it was a prank call. After all, they already got rid of him once.

I think most of Fields warts are relatively easily fixed. They are just going to need some coaching and experience. I don't really understand why everyone was so down on him over the course of the season.

We need to mix it up a little, I figured.

Didn't Tyreek Hill call him "trash" in his rookie year coming into KC?

I will say this, as fans we need to get past the overreacting about reported interest in X player. The deal we offered for Stafford was actually a very, very good deal. We jettisoned Teddy's salary and gave up a 1st and 5th. That was an extremely reasonable trade. Let's not assume that we are out there making Rams type offers for every player. Battered Fan Syndrome is really gonna be tough to get rid of after Hurney.

A 1st, 3rd and a 5th????

How do you feel about running for your life every play? Also, what are your thoughts on checking down?

I would be shocked if he didn't have a role in it.

I mean, it is the same guy who gave Teddy Bridgewater way more than market value. I guess he is colorblind when it comes to stupidity.

It amazes me that people still hate this guy here. The Huddle is a "special" place.

Well he did make a Pro Bowl as a RT and LT. I suspect a first is a must.

There are a whooooooooooooole lot of bust QB's who meet that criteria, as well. Not saying those aren't valid....but there is a lot more to it than that.

Lol. That also speaks to our specific level of desperation at that position. It was nice for a few games this year to see actual competent LT play for the first time since Jordan retired. I am sure Brown Jr. will command more than a third, unfortunately. I know we all keep seeing the shiny toys available in the trade market, but we have to pick our poison on these "hypothetical" trades. We really need to get some of these drafted guys into the organization to start to build with. That's a question for you, do you stay in the game for a veteran QB trade or trade up in the draft, or do you try and get Orlando Brown, Jr.? I don't think we can afford both in terms of reasonable draft capital.

I guess that boils down to.....do we believe he is a LT and what is the price?

I was just going to say that after #7, he probably could care less about that actual trophy.

I know what "external" football operations were/are for the New England Patriots.

No, he really wasn't. Agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. We only remember him fondly because of how poor the tackles around him were. He was an average to slightly above average LT. Now, you could certainly argue that those are becoming rarer. That I would certainly agree with.
