Trading up for Burrow what would it cost?

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2020-nfl-draft-who-could-trade-up-for-joe-burrow-at-no-1-and-what-such-a-move-would-cost/

 

What would it cost? 

Hill: No. 7, 38, 69, 2021 first and 2022 first for No. 1.

Traditional: No. 7, 2021 first and second for No. 1

Meers: No. 7 and 38 for No.1

What's the likelihood it happens?

A lot will depend on who the Panthers hire to replace Ron Rivera. If it's, say, Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, he might want to stick with Newton given the success he has had with Lamar Jackson, and before that, Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco. If it's someone else and they want to start fresh with "their" quarterback, moving up for Burrow is a more realistic possibility, assuming Tua doesn't declare and that they don't consider Herbert a top-10 pick. We would put the chances at 35 percent.

In our latest mock draft, we had the Panthers taking wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

I am not*in favor of taking a qb. This is just a hypothetical.

We can fix the O/Line with a good LG or LT and Center selection in this years draft.  We weren't even holding teams out of the backfield for a 3 second count and you were expecting us to pass.  There was no stepping up into the pocket cause it was collapsing when they did or a rusher was plowing through to the QB.  Give our QB's time to throw and we could have won more games this year even as poorly as the defense played.

Anything other than a concentrated effort to fix the oline through draft and FA and even coaching hire will make whoever takes snaps under center next year irrelevant. If it is Cam, he will have a slim chance indeed of making it through the season without further injury with our line as presently constructed. If it is a rookie, the risk of wasting said rookie's potential and leaving them shell shocked a la David Carr is high. If this season made anything abundantly clear, it is that our oline must be addressed first or who is under center won't matter much.

This board reminds me of the pre-Cam draft cycle

"ugh we have too many holes we can't go worrying about getting a franchise QB, go get Fairley!!!"

it's remarkable how this stupid notion won't just go away despite the overwhelming makeup of the league.

 

If you have a chance to get a franchise QB, you get one. Lol at obsessing over whose going to anchor your LG spot.

When Ditka was coaching the Saints, he gave his entire draft for a RB (Williams) and a first and a third the next year to move from #12 to #5.

Cincy ain't giving up on Burrow unless the whole farm is on the table.

Yeah, but I don't think they had a first rounder, IIRC...and it was actually the Saints.  To compensate, they had to give up the remainder of what they had in the draft.

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

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.

      If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.
