Hypothetical Draft day Trade


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
