Passing on a star for more draft capital

I think that the trade down talk is mostly just smoke to try and open all possible options for Fitterer at #8. However, if Fields or Lance are there and a bidding war ensues from teams like Pats, Broncos, WFT it could prove difficult to say no.
 

That said...I think Chase is probably the best player in the draft after Lawrence. If for some reason Chase and Fields (potentially QB of the future) are there at #8 do you think we still trade down?
 

To me that would mean the draft result somewhat like this..

1. Lawrence

2. Wilson

3. Jones

4. Lance 

5. Sewell

6. Pitts (Mia has weapons at WR already..Pitts fills a need at TE as well)

7. Slater (Lions also heavily rumored to be interested in best defender so could be Parsons or Surtain as well). 

8. Chase - It’d be shocking to have a player like him fall this far. But not completely unrealistic. 
 

So...do you trade out knowing teams may want to trade up for Fields (ahead of Denver). Do you take Fields and let him sit? Do you take Chase knowing he looks like a future All-Pro?

You take Fields and let him compete. Honestly if there are 5-6 prospects our staff values high when we are up, then you look at trading down a few spots. We addressed a lot of needs (LT and QB are still shaky at best) in order to draft BPA/trade back if needed.

We have made our QB decision for better or worse.

We are wide open for about anything now.  The number 1 receiver in the draft will not fall to 8, if he does, you take him.  Otherwise, trade down, at least 3-5 spots, is a very viable option.  Even down to 19 with the Redskins is not a horrible idea

For now I’m expecting the Bengals to take Chase @ 5 but if they don’t he won’t make it past Detroit @ 7. Their cupboard is bare @ WR.

OK, well if that happens then Pitts should still be there for us to take.  Regardless, if we stay pat at 8, and there is a run on QBs like we all know there is going to be - one of the top non-QB players is going to be sitting there for us to grab.  I hope we do.

I'm not sure Darnold is anything more than our "QB decision for right now". We haven't even officially picked up his fifth year option yet.

Not sure if Pitts makes it past the Falcons or Dolphins but we should run the card up if he’s there. Anything can happen on draft day.

Seattle may have a lot of picks the last few years but their drafts have not been something to emulate. Fnding value late at the cost of better talent early is a bad approach to the draft and their team is only held together at this point by a QB they picked in 2012.

Just take a QB or LT if they are available and if not then talk trade back. Years of garbage LT play and another year likely if we don't pick up one early  QB is still a position of need for this team at this time, just as it was last year.

This is certainly worth noting. The Seahawks knocked it out of the park drafting early in Carroll's career but they've been pretty trash at drafting for awhile now.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
