Offer any team their 2nd for our next year's 2nd and see what happens? Even if it's the last pick of the round. It's why we couldn't simply swap next year's 3rd with NE to acquire Corral with their current 3rd, We had to offer our 4th too to make up for the loss of value. Future picks carry less value than current ones.

Oh know I get that, but he was sitting there at 8 and all we had was a big question mark in Darnold. You draft the QB and let him sit behind Darnold (NOT picking up his 5th year). Once Darnold poo the bed we could have been working Fields into the offense. Hindsight is 20/20 but many posters on this board felt the same way at the time.

Burns is staying and CMC is the only good player we traded. @Catsfan69is going to have a stroke....

It's also why we couldn't just give NE our future 3rd for their 3rd to draft Corral. They needed more since a future 3rd doesn't equal a current 3rd.

It means stop using the same logic on skipping over a HUGE need and waiting for the next year. Draft one this year not in 2024, no 2025, no 2026.... We should have sucked it up and drafted Fields IMO 2 years ago.

It's more meaningful for the team getting the pick. A 1st round pick this year can be a QB we draft and will have a full year of experience under his belt by the time we get our first round pick NEXT year. So if we draft (in a vacuum) the same caliber player in 2024, the QB in 2023 should be better that year due to his development/experience. It's the same thing as the $100 I mentioned earlier. If you invest that immediately it will earn money (experience for the player) and be worth more the following year vs receiving it then.

It's like the time/value of money. $100 now is worth more than $100 next year to most people. A player drafted now will have a year of experience under his belt vs one drafted the following year. I'm not saying I agree with it or it's 100% accurate, but that's where it's coming from. That 2nd from the Darnold trade hurt like a 2nd this past year, not a 3rd.

Check out Max Duggan and let me know what you think. @Icegeposted some good stuff.

He is going to show up with some platform shoes and a bag of McDonalds.

Ok? It's still pure speculation... The man running the show during that terrible time period is gone.

Burns doesn't want to be here? Source? Also Peppers wanted to play standing up in the 3-4 which we didn't run so he went to GB where he could.

Kyle Allen was Baby GOAT for 5 games.

Also the Vikings are looking pretty legit with him right now...

So let's get one THIS year and put an end to the game. It reminds me of "can he play LT?"

The next year's QB class is a game the Huddle has been playing for 4-5 years now....

So not even 2 firsts (the 2nd and 5th more than offset the 3rd and 6th). I know they weren't a year in advance but it seems like good compensation for Burns who is younger but not the force Mack was.

What did the Bears give up for Mack? He was an elite pass rusher at the time…

Our GM only trades down. (Kidding)

It cumulative over the past 3 years. Looks like he comes in at 9 looking at it that way. Staying healthy looks to be a big part of it. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sack-last-3-seasons#:~:text=Since 2020%2C T.J.,most sacks%2C with 38.5 sacks.

Agreed. I think people are looking at what is coming due with him. He is in for a big pay day. Would it make sense for a team like us to max out a player right now when we still need a year or two to make a run? On the other hand how likely is it we replace a top young player at a premium position? It's a good debate.

Looks like he only has one INT on the season? I know he has an awesome WR, but so does Stroud, Hooker and others being considered at the top. Air Raid doesn't bother me as much as it use to. I think NFL teams are incorporating some of that into their offenses these days.

Or after they got crushed by the Niners.

I think Von Miller is on the Bills now, but I agree fug him.

Burns' agent is reading these tweets and thinking about how much money his guy is about to make.
