Still think we're going to have to move up.

While some Panthers beat writers seem to think there is a chance at 8.  Most Lions people and Many National people still think the Lions go Lance at 7 if he's there, considering the Lions can get out of Goff next year,  and sit Lance this year.

Additionally, San Fran has been rumored to be in the QB Market.  And word was, thst they were 1 of the strong suitors for Stafford.  So you better believe they will be on the phone with Detroit at Lance there at 7

Goff has 2 years guaranteed at close to 30 mil per.    It would be crazy dumb to pick a qb and have to sit him for 2 years.  I think they go wr and see how a change of scenery  does for goff.

I bet we have a choice between fields, lance and maybe Wilson now.   I am still not convinced atl is taking a an and the jets may roll with darnold 

Even if that’s true, those two teams will be receiving trade offers

Or us at 8.  Don't count that out.

We are probably going to have to trade up to GUARANTEE a QB is the pick now, however with the Stafford trade I think it is more likely Lance falls to 8. Who do I think we might trade with? The Bengals at 5 are VERY interesting. 

Per this draft chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp

The capital to move up from 8 to 5 isn't that bad. It would take basically 8th overall, a third and fourth rounder. Let's say the Panthers bet on being better next year, so we trade: 8th, third this year, and a future fourth for 5. 

Here's why this is interesting. Let's assume no one bites on the Jets mega offer and they take Wilson at 2. The Dolphins again will want a king's ransom. Again if no one bites they're forced to take the guy they want (Devonta) at 3. Falcons are interesting because I really have no idea what they do but it is conceivable they DONT go QB because Matt Ryan's deal is an absolute albatross and the worst I've ever seen. 

Suddenly, the fifth pick has Fields and Lance (pick your player). Panthers give the Bengals a chance to still get Sewell/Slater at 8 more than the Colts or 9ers would be able to provide. 

 

Also you can bet your bottom dollar Fitts is trading back in the second round in this scenario above to reaquire some of the capital it took to move up to 5. Let's say with the WFT who is going to be itching to take their "Greg Little, Everrette Brown" first rounder who is in the second all of a sudden.

Makes sense but you may be underestimating what it will take to trade up to 5. In a normal year, that may be fine but there will likely be competing offers

While its a possibility the cost for say the Colts or niners to move up (the 2 qb needy teams) would be a crazy ransom.  From 12 and 21 to 6,7 would be a lot to absorb.  Could happen sure but thats nuts. 

Well considering they were one of the competitive offers in the Stafford thing.

I doubt they hesitate to offer 12 and next years 1st for 7 for starters.

You underestimate the value of a QB in the league today.  And you clearly are just reading what the Panthers writers are saying, and not what Detroit people and National people are saying.  Its all aboard taking a QB or trade down in their eyes

Yes.  Better question is what will the huddle reaction be if we trade the 8th pick before it's our turn and one of the huddles top 4 QB's is still on the board?  

LOl, you have to ask? The huddle reaction will be divas and bitchin and moaning and fist pumping no matter what happens.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
