My Ridiculous Trade up theory


Recommended Posts

Ok so it hinges on the Brown's.... about this trade rumor between the panthers and 9ers that everyone seems so "fond" of..everyone is freaking out saying "omg don't trade up for a RB" assuming it is fournette. Maybe Gman knows something about the team sitting at #1 that we dont, or he's just a master at reading between the lines.
 
So the Browns have quietly assemebled a beast Oline this off-season and could be planning on passing on Garrett for fournette and taking a qb at #12, following the Cowboys model for success, pairing a young QB(watson at 12) with a stud RB behind A great oline....so in that scenario wed be trading up with the 49ers, a new GM/coach combo with numerous holes to fill wanting to stockpile picks, to grab the consensus top player in the draft, Myles Garrett. And ppl will say "ohh you'll have to give up a first next year" but you gotta think Dave is prbly banking on having a late 20s-30s pick next year so it far outweighs the value of that having Garrett, when we have 2 second rounders and one 3rd rounder this year, can give a 1st next year and a 2nd and 3rd this year and still get 2 or 3 solid players this year combined with a monster Garrett.
 
This is all crazy speculation but not outside the realm of possibility. We shouldn't be this close to the top of the draft again anytime soon so I'm banking on Dave wanting to make a splash, nab as close to a sure thing as possible and bell cow monster pass rusher for the next 10 years. Would be one of the most epic pre draft smokescreens ever, leaking how "interested" we are in various RBs to effectively snag the best player in the draft.

I think it is all fluff at the moment.

At some point, the Browns are going to want to start negotiating with #1. At that point, it will be common knowledge.

I see it playing out like this:

1. Browns - Garrett
2. 49ers - Watson
3. Bears - Thomas
4. Jags - Allen
5. Titans - Trade down or Lattimore
6. Jets - Hooker
7. Chargers - Mike Williams
8. Panthers - Fournette, Adams, or trade down
9. Bengals - Trade down or Corey Davis, Barnett, or Reuben Foster
10. Bills - Trubisky
11. Saints - Barnett, Humphrey, or McCaffrey
12. Browns - Trade up or Peppers, Ramczyk, or Lamp

I think the Browns are going to try to trade up. If they do, things could domino into interesting things for us at 8, if they don't trade up with us.

    • Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding. 
    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
