Would you trade KB for a first next year?

[t96]

Just a thought that popped into my head in response to Jeremy's article about KB being done here. If he truly may be done here past next year then why not try to trade him now? Let the offense get a jumpstart without him and have continuity for going forward. Don't know if we could get a first, but if we could would you trade him for one? What about a 2nd from a rebuilding team who'll likely be picking early? 

 

Personally, I'm not ready to give up on him at all and hope we pick up his 5th year option and keep him, but it does seem like a possibility the team is getting tired of some of his sh*t going on. I mean, the TC before he got hurt he was looking like a Dez Bryant or AJ Green type of dominating player, and that was going up against Norman. I still feel he can get to that level here and while yes the offense seemed better without him, I don't think that means we can't make the offense work even better with him as well.

In a second. But I don't think any team would offer that

A first round pick?  Is this a real question?  If so, yes.  Yes.  I certainly would.  In a heartbeat.

Um, prob be lucky to get 2nd out of him. Is he really good yes but if those issues continue and build he will not be worth it to other teams. Also we aint trading him.

[LinvilleGorge]

If we're truly considering moving on from him, then yes, someone offering a 1st for him would be an absolute gift.

Highest you'd get would be a 2nd (from a good team) I would think.  Probably more like a 3rd for a guy with weight "concerns", effort concerns, and already having an ACL tear in his short career.

I don't think a first is that outrageous. KB wasn't any worse than Cooks who yielded the Aints a first. KB in NO with Brees throwing the ball 50 times a game would've had a bigger impact than Cooks there.

I would happily trade him for cooks.. So that should tell you who is more valuable

If this was a real scenario and a team really offered a first round pick, yes.

I'd trade him to the 49ers for Tartt. Player for player. We need a young safety with talent to groom. 49ers could use a possession guy. Plus Tartt played with Bradberry in the secondary at Samford.

I'm not sure we were watching the same two players. Brandin Cooks was a much better player than KB last year.

You people drastically underestimate he value and talent of KB. Even captain said he was the only WR they were concerned with. He's a matchup nightmare and he's not the first talented young player to struggle with weight discipline. Trading him would be stupid. You guys act like he hasn't been productive he's been putting up numbers even the so called down year of last season.

Obviously they don't understand about complimentary pieces.

 

Just ask Green Bay when Nelson went out and Cobb tried to play outside.

Without a second thought or regret.
