It’s hypothetical. If the Chiefs would trade Mahomes for 3 1sts would you do it? Yes. The answer is yes because that is well below his value and we need a QB. Same logic applies here (obviously much less value than Mahomes). 

We're playing with hypotheticals. 

So hypothetically you're Chicago and you've decided you want a QB with the first choice.  You draft #1 QB.  All any team has to do is wait until the draft is over and trade maybe one or two #2.  Once you draft your future QB the incumbent is now very less valued. 

That's like us trading #1 for Darnold a couple of years ago.  (thank god we didn't, 2nd round was too much) Darnold had a lot of Potential but sucked.  We were smart not to give them anything worthy of a 1st rounder.  

I get you think Fields is going to be great but IF (going with the topic) Chicago drafts a QB his value plummets.  Offering a first round pick is stupid.

I don't know if he will be great or not.  The question is would you trade the number 9 pick for him?  Is he worth the number 9 pick?  The answer is an easy YES.  It's all irrelevant because he isn't on the trade block much less for just a first round pick.

We'll just have to agree to disagree because any QB that is being removed for another QB is not worth a first round pick and definitely not a top 10 pick.

There us zero logic in trading 9 for fields. If the Panthers has wanted Fields, they would have drafted him, ND enjoyed his full rookie contract. They aren't going to trade 9 for 1 year of Fields. He hasn't proven he's worthy of an extension.  

If the Panthers trade away 9, they are moving up to get their guy.

Why would it be only one year of Fields?

You think the same people are running the show that were running it then??  Rhule had full roster control and just traded for Darnold thinking he was the answer.

You are insane. 

I mean the currently think he is valued higher than the first overall pick right?  Otherwise the GM wouldn't say he is their guy and the top pick is for sale.  They seem to prefer to keep Fields and use the number one pick to acquire more picks and actually draft players that will fill actual needs.
