Teams looking to trade up for quarterbacks

I would easily do Patriots 2021 2nd, Patriots 2022 2nd,  2022 4th to move back to the Patriots spot

 

Edit: if Pitts and Chase aren't there. at 15 we can still get an elite player because of all the QB's taken. one or more of Waddle, Devonta Smith, Slater, Surtain Jr., Vera-Tucker, Darrisaw will be there

I don't want to trade down. I want to stick at 8 and take Penei Sewell or Rashaan Slater.

Having teams trade ahead of us for a quarterback helps that happen.

Darrisaw isn't as good but if we get a first next year from the Pats or whatever you take that all day. I would only hesitate on Sewell who is probably the best OT prospect since Orlando Pace. Slater is good but the gap between Darrisaw and Slater isn't huge. If it's just Slater there at 8 and we get a call from the Pats you take that all day.

Slater is a bulldozer and may be the most technically advanced OT in the draft. Those short arms are the knock, but there have been great LTs with short arms.

Same. Don’t get cute, don’t overthink it, we NEED a damn LT! It’s been way too long without.

Yep. If Darnold pans out and can run the Brady offense and we stay healthy...I like our chances in the South. Add a possible pro bowl LT for the next 10 years and it elevates the likelihood that Darnold pans out.

    • They must really believe in Penix is all I can say.
    • They definitely have to get better in the draft. My other big concern is whether this coaching staff has what it take to win some games. 
    • I thought his contract was fat to make it happen and no one really thought he would playout at least that 4th year, just a bonus year to make the numbers work while including the guaranteed money that made it happen. It could be his last contract and to me it reads as he has 2 years and then they will see what happens then at a higher then normal cost. That QB room and the owner/gm meeting room away from cameras too. Just depends on the personality types. Cousins is a old pro with a fat contract and a no trade clause. IT could blow up or be just fine this year. By next year that's when it ramps up. Cousins could get a trade done and find another spot to finish this contract. It's 35 mil dead cap to cut/trade him after year 2 and 12.5 mil dead cap after year 3. If Cousins wanted to play somewhere else then he could give that a try but either way after year 2 the team has options. If the rookie grows and is worth it at year three then even that dead cap would just be a normal QB pay outside the rookie wage scale. Looks like they may get 1 year of rookie pay advantage and then the option year if things go well for them so 3 years lost and 2 left.  They should have given a heads up to the owner, Cousins tho. They had plenty of time to say what the plan was. Cousins isn't young but it's still a trashy move when he just got there 2 months ago. That was also a rather big move considering the player and their needs. Just dumb way of doing it all IMO but I always get 'it was for a QB and you have to take shots when you see them'.
