According to The Athletic's Doug Haller, not only is there a "strong possibility" that star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is traded, but the Cardinals also "remain open to trading the No. 3 pick and moving back to gain additional picks, which might be their best option."

Haller explained Arizona has many roster needs, leading to the team's desire to explore its trade options.

"This is a team with more questions than answers. In his first year on the job, GM Monti Ossenfort needs to rebuild the offensive line, add a pass rusher and improve the cornerback room," Haller wrote while adding wide receiver to that list in the event Hopkins is traded.

We just hired a guy who should know a thing or two about the Cardinals

This has been my thought for awhile. Package Pick 3 and Nuke Hopkins for pick 9 and maybe a 1st and 3rd/4th next year.

Not sure how feasible it is with the cap numbers and compensation but it’s worth a discussion at the least.

Only interested if the Bears swap with Texans and stay at 2.

Well that would fix a lot of problems..

i have been thinking for a good while that AZ seems like the most likely and ideal trade partner. 

c'mon WIlson.... work your connections!

[PantherKyle]

All this conviction of going to get YOUR GUY? Why #3? Do we know who top 2 are? If it is on the clock and we do it, sure. 

I want #1.

Same.  I've though that for a while, and honestly believe they're the highest possible we can get.  Not because we don't want the #1 pick, but I don't think the Bears are willing to drop back all the way to #9 and miss out on one of the elite defensive prospects.

[MHS831]

If my board has three QBs we would be willing to trade up for, then ok.  I do not see us trading up on draft day-  Why, you ask? All of the QB needy teams will have already moved up--they ain't trading out. 

If Baltimore gets two firsts for Jackson, then expect them to be in the market with the draft capital to move up to #1 if they want.  I think it would be smart to work out a deal sooner than later, but not if you don't love 3 QBs--Me?  I only love 2 and like 2.

OK here is what you could do--trade up to #3.  If your top 2 QBs are gone (Young, Stroud, for example) that means you have the access to the best non-QBs in the draft--Jalen Carter and Will Anderson to trade out.  After that, imo, there is a drop off.   Trade out of #3 back to #6 or so, for example. a team wanting one of the remaining QBs or Carter/Anderson will be all in.  It is risky, but so is moving up for Richardson or Levis.

But the thing is to get to #3 now, and then move around if needed.

Trading to 3 means we probably keep our 25 first and we should have the option of Young/Stroud or whoever we like better out of Levis/AR.  You really have to be sold on 3 QBs though and I think we might be...  So there have been Levis rumors for a minute and we apparently like Young although he SHOULD be gone by 3.  We also have McCown on camera comparing Stroud to Burrow and seemed high on him.  Reports are currently that we don't think AR is worth that high of a pick, but the other 3 look to be fair game.  Trade to 3 and let the pieces fall ahead of you.

where do I sign the dotted line?

[Mr. Scot]

Person mentions #3 as a likely target...

The Panthers are considering all options, but they know they would have to switch places with Arizona at 3 to ensure they get one of the top three QBs on their board. While the Panthers are impressed with Anthony Richardson’s raw talent, my sense is they view him as too big of a gamble to trade up for. Then — assuming they don’t pursue another free agent such as Jimmy Garoppolo — it becomes a matter of which QB they like best among Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Will Levis.
