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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

    • 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.
