What would you ask from Houston?

uh if we knew for a fact they weren’t taking our guy why would they trade up lol

This is one of those pipe dreams people have to make up for all the picks we gave up along with not trading Burns. The realization that we are in a real tough spot for offensive weapons and so we dream about Houston handing us another 1st to move up one spot.

Why give them the first choice among the qb's? You've already traded up so use that to pick whoever you want. Don't overthink this.

This. They better have a conviction on one guy as the top choice otherwise we’re  in trouble. It doesn’t mean the second choice is not good but you have the #1 pick, no need to settle

You are sacrificing your chance to choose the first qb and quite possibly the one you wanted. That's a big something that is being ignored. To hell with extra picks. Don't overthink this.

They traded up too soon, we have too much time on our hands now. All we can do is overthink!

It's weird.  I feel like you only trade to #1 if there is one specific guy you actually covet.  So I think our FO and staff know exactly who they want and who they traded up there for.  So, that's where I disagree with Person here...  I don't think they traded there with the idea they like "more than one."  They traded for THE ONE they like.  Now, that being said, I only see us trading back if we have solid Intel that the Texans aren't interested in the guy we want.  If that is the case, I'm taking that 12th pick and running Zay Flowers or Hyatt's card up to the podium.  No hesitation.

I think there were 2 guys there covet (Stroud and Young), but the #2 pick wasn't for sale. Trading to #3 doesn't guarantee you those guys since LV or IND can jump to #1.

Basically this could be the long way to get to pick #2.

What could you settle for?

I'd ask for next years 1st. I'd settle for this years 2nd and try to trade it to someone else for their 1st next year (ala Everette Brown).

That is actually in line with what a team should expect (maybe a little low) based on the typical cost to move up in the 1st round.

Why would Houston trade up if they know we have to take one of the QBs anyway. Their power move would be to stay put and force us to take Stroud with no additional compensation. They could just call our bluff. 
 

Who else is trying to move up to #1?

Texans are the only team it'll make sense for us to trade to imo. It feels like the tepper likes Young Reich likes Stroud report was aimed at them as well. I dont think it happens though, feels like us just being optimistic we can force them to pick between the two.

I would only do it for their 1st next year, which they would be insane to agree to.  At the 1 spot, we get to choose our destiny and that is priceless.

I sure would love to get next years first rounder back, but that would be a huge ask. They currently have:

  • Round 1, Pick 2 overall
  • Round 1, Pick 12 overall (from CLE)
  • Round 2, Pick 33 overall
  • Round 3, Pick 65 overall
  • Round 3, Pick 73 overall (from CLE)
  • Round 4, Pick 104 overall

Plus 4 6ths and 2 7ths.

Honestly, I'd take # 33 or both 3rd rounders this year. we need to let our new staff lock down as much talent as they can right off the bat, Obviously, if the coaches feel that 1 QB is significantly better than the other, fuggit! pick their guy and don't look back!

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
