Not saying we will do this..

 

or SHOULD do this..

 

...but ive been thinking of "what would it take to get Trevor Lawrence?" 

 

What if we packaged CMC to move up to #1 OVR? 

Is that a trade rape against us? I mean, Trevor Lawrence is the best QB prospect since who knows who..     We have a Stud ass, but expensive player at a position that typically isn't given that kind of money. We are in a rebuild.. we could add a RB in their prime on a cheap deal (aka a RB drafted in the next 2-3 years) down the line when we are ready to win, and that can be like the missing piece. 

 

i could also see why a lot of people would be like "hell no", and i don't know which side I'm on. 

 

But i'd give up CMC if it means landing the best QB since sliced bread, earning multiple SBs. 

 

What do yall think?    How far ahead is Lawrence ahead of the other QBs? 

 

It wouldn't have surprised me if we resigned CMC to retain an asset, you use later down the line..

 

It would take A LOT to get a team to move off the #1 pick, but make them choose between Lawrence straight up, or a QB that they like a whole with the #3-4 pick a lot and CMC..

hmmmm...

The Jags would probably have taken it if James Robinson didn't emerge as a RB1 so it would take a lot more than CMC.

Not a fan of giving away CMC but this team needs a QB of the future.

Pretty sure that's a $24m cap hit if you trade away McCaffrey.

It's getting ridiculous around here.  Ok, *more* ridiculous.

"What would it take to get Lawrence?" . . . "What if we did ______ to get Lawrence".  News Flash:  There is no sane move we can make that will push either the Jets or Jags (whoever ends up "winning" that contest) out of that slot to draft Trevor Lawrence.  Sure, we can do something extremely stupid, like Ricky Williams level of stupid, and move up there.  Those teams understand the value of that pick IN THIS DRAFT.

Short of that, content yourself with the fact that we cannot get Trevor Lawrence.

As an aside, imagine if you will what happens if Trevor Lawrence turns into Ryan Leaf after you pulled a Ricky Williams.  You just mortgaged your future on a flop.  You've just ruined your franchise for five years.  Minimum.  This ain't Madden career mode.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
