Boo!

Watson is a great talent, but I am not for spending the capital it would take to get him to Charlotte. 

Well we don't know what the price tag will be when trading resumes in the middle of March. Right now we are dead in the water. We need hope or the stadium will be empty. Need to make a big move if not Watson then another superstar QB.

The feeling may not be mutual.

That was from last year, according to Verge, that was bc he wanted Miami. It wasn’t that he wouldn’t come here, he just preferred the fins. Now that miami has backed out, that may have changed. I’m not saying I want the trade to happen, until he is either out of the league or on  another team, we will always be linked to him.

We won't have any draft picks worth a poo for 5 years and most of our cap space will be gone, but sure, let's go get him behind our imaginary OL.

We can restructure several players to free up a lot of cap space. Christensen at LT, and Moton at RT. Our center is not terrible. Deonte might be ready at RG next season, and guards in general are not that hard to acquire.

This year there's interest from another Florida team (Tampa) and others who will be in way better position draft pick wise to get him.

If we trade more than what others will be set to offer, we severely mortgage our future and hinder any ability we might have had to build around him.

It's just not a winning proposition.

I think the more likely scenario if they do go after a veteran is that we'll end up with someone who takes a lot less compensation to acquire than Watson, Rodgers or Wilson.

That likely means Cousins, Garoppolo or someone on that tier.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
