I'd probably pony up the 3 1st round picks but probably not the 2 seconds, as well. Let's not forget that is also a team lacking pretty heavily in talent. 

If I were to pick a team that would have the LEAST issue giving up those, it's probably Miami. They already are a good team so winning now might suit their purposes a lot more. For the Jets and us, we still have a lot of building to accomplish. Miami just needs some fine tuning. 

Yea, I’ve got no problem giving up the 3 firsts. That ain’t no thing. Honestly, I could be talked into giving up a 4th. I want this years 2nd, though. I would like to keep the 2nds for the next 3 years. I feel this regime will be much better in the later rounds.

I'd give up anything BUT Burns 

Until the 3-3-5, I was not under the impression that Burns was a good fit.  Now? He fits--he is not an ideal replacement for Watt. 

So I would trade away Jackson, Thompson, and even CMC as part of a package.  Jackson and Thompson and 2 firsts is my preference. 

We have to get rid of 1 big contract to take on Watson, unless TB is part of the deal-and he has to be.

Texans likely take TB, they would have no QB and he would make a good bridge

You said it always got sorted in a year or less...another false statement.

Both are (were) high profile NFL players -- apples-to-apples.

Comparing the NBA to the NFL not so much...

He sat out one season. What are you talking about? If you think this is an apples to apples comparison, you are the only one.

By NFL QB standards it is...

Matt Stafford has already banked $226,478,969 and in the next 2 years will bank another $43,000,000 which is more than Deshaun has made in his entire career.

Oh, now we're talking about NFL standards and not in reference to most people on the earth? OK...

 

Bringing up Stafford's earnings in comparison to Watson's bespeaks of disingenuousness. Watson hasn't even had the opportunity to earn big money yet because he's essentially been on his rookie contract. Moreover, Stafford came into the league at a time when the rookie wage scale did not exist.

It's eating you up to know that Watson is going to get paid, regardless! Furthermore, I'd bet that after all is said and done, if he stays healthy, Watson will eclipse Stafford's earnings after all is said and done. Deal with it!

To be honest they should use him in that manner. They should trade back from 8, and gather a 2nd this year since Miami owns their 1sr and 2nd.

 

They should draft BPA this year, let Teddy tank it out with that bad roster, and put themselves in position to draft a QB of their choice at number 1 next year. They would then also have our 1st and the rest of their picks next year after taking QB at #1

I did, and wasn't a fan of certain parts, like this one...

I suspect the Panthers will be willing to get quite creative (including emerging pass rushing force Brian Burns in any package may be even more attractive than McCaffrey)

If you get Watson and then sign Von Miller while you try to find the Burns replacement in the draft....is that really a bad deal? 
 

How do we win more games? Rolling the rookie dice with Fields or Wilson and keeping Burns....or getting Watson and Von Miller while looking for prospect DEs. 
 

You can manufacture sacks and with schemes and other players....you can’t manufacture playmaking at QB.

Yeah that’s interesting I was reading an article that Chase Edmunds says we the way the cap was a lot of good players would take one year deals so we could do something like that.

I don’t think teams are allowed to trade 4 first round picks. 3 is the max.

I thought u could just not 4 consecutive? I might be wrong

You can do it as long as you have them--let's say via trade (which is why Miami and the Jets could do it because they each have 2 first round picks this year)--but you can't go more than three years into the future.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
