Don't be suprised if we trade up again.

Having the strong potential for several comp picks next year, I wouldn't be shocked if we give up a late 2015 pick to move up again. There's still some decent talent on the board, but the chances of it still being around for pick 204 would be slim.

 

With the thought planted, who would be worth moving up to get that's left?

The comp pick angle is one thing I immediately thought of after we gave up the 7th this year. Being tight on cap space again, while needing to lock up Cam/Luke...we may lose some guys like Hardy which could net us some picks in 2015. 

 

 

You are misunderstanding how comp picks work.  We will get comp picks in the 2015 draft based on the Free Agents we lost THIS year, which there were a lot of.  Losing Hardy next offseason (if it happens), would likely get us a pick in the 2016 draft.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
