So the elite prospects aren't there... and your response is to trade three years worth of first round picks for a non-elite prospect?

Sounds sensible.

Burrows, Allen, nor Mahomes we’re seen as elite Prospects. That’s 3 of the top 5 in the league looked at like the QB’s in this draft..

Some of y’all are so scared to make a move it’s embarrassing. 
 

We should be the favorites in our division so we’d likely be trading a pick in the twenties next year to go get the guy that this fully capable staff can develop. 
 

I see some of the same posters praise the coaching staff and Fitterer and Morgan in one thread and then completely panic in the next thread about going into next years draft without a first round pick. You’re either completely risk adverse or all the pomp and circumstance your shouting about the front office and new staff is a front. 
 

trading away next years first in exchange for a rookie qb on a rookie deal that allows cap space to be used in free agency to build a competing roster while they rookie deal is ongoing is the blueprint. 
 

if this collection of coaches and front office personnel think there’s a talent worth trading multiple picks for, I’m on board.

I don't think the majority of us are scared to move. The point many of us are making is, if we do make a move, make it because we've evaluated the player thoroughly and decided he's the best fit for our offense. No jumping for the mega hype underwear olympics high flyer just because they're the sexy pick. 

FYI, the last 4 times next years first was traded away was Mahomes (17), Watson(17), Goff(16) and Wentz(16). Of the 4, I would say that Mahomes is the only completely successful more. Wentz was leading Philly to the SB when he got injured so that's kind of a partially successful given the rest of his work. Watson got himself traded away for being handsy, and Goff is well, Goff. The only other time before that I could find was RG3. I wouldn't say trading away an extra 1st is necessarily the blueprint, though it has been done with some success and some failure.

No its about giving up the draft capital on an unknown.

 

Id give up 3 1s for a vet that has shown he can navigate an NFL offense.  But a rook...

Too much of a gamble in my book

Everything’s a unknown.. Do you think when the Broncos gave up draft capital for RUss there wasn’t a chance of failure.. And then reality is there isn’t many opportunities to trade 3 picks for a known championship commodity.. All of this comes with risk.. But depending on team situation you have to decide which risk is worth taking…

and P. Manning. 

I don’t even agree Manning was on that list because there was a question if Leaf was going to be better.. 
 

There was no question when Elway, Luck and Lawrence came out.. You couldn’t offer those teams the moon to move off those guys..

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
