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.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
