The Case For Trading the Farm for Lawrence/Fields

Recommended Posts

Will be interesting to see who the new GM is and what his tendencies are. I don’t know how many more losing seasons Tepper will be ok with, doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of guy who is ok losing if he’s making money.

I personally don’t think trading multiple first rounders is the answer.

I'm not trading jack for any of these question marks when no one can agree who the hell is worth trading up for. I'd rather trade back, get some extra picks and draft someone from the next tier of guys in the event none of the 4 make it to us (e.g. Mac Jones, Trask). But I still think we have a very good chance at one of the 4 even at 9. Also, there's a good chance we move up a couple spots with teams ahead of us potentially snagging wins.

It's a really interesting pool.

I've had the chance to research Ireland, Peters and Dodds so far, and right now it's no exaggeration for me to say I'd be thrilled with any of one of them.

More to come, but it's looking like this could just be a great year to get a new GM.

Put simply the cost is too high to trade for Lawrence.  I do not want fields, as his performance against top competition was super poor.  Maybe the medical scare folks away from Wilson.  I am generally against trading up for or drafting a qb this year, but a trade back into the first for Wilson would be intriguing.  All depends on the cost.  Lots of great talent to be had if we stay put.  Hurney was terrible after the first round, seems Rhule is far better so far, why not let him build quality and depth.

Unless Fields looks a lot better in the playoffs than he did against Indiana and Northwestern, then I'd rather trade the farm for Wilson or Lance.

I’d skip Lance but be fully supportive of moving up for Fields or Wilson.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
