Thing is teams that have WRs worth trading for like Denver and AZ are looking for Capitol/have their ILB & S pretty wrapped up.

You have to find someone willing to take a one year contract for a player with no real position. 

Oh, he has a real position alright. His position is as a cover 3 SS.

I agree with that, but that makes him even harder to sell off. SS even less coveted than ILB.

I had previously sort of wondered if Chinn might be a potential trade piece. I can't recall the new staff really saying much at all about him. Then you see Von Bell signed who plays a similar style to Chinn... honestly, I hack EXPECT Chinn to be traded at this point

I think someone is getting traded. Losing DJ changed everything about what happened after they get their qb. They will either need more draft picks by trading someone or they will have to do a player for player trade or combinationofthe two. They do not have the cash for the top guys in FA without making more cash available somehow.

Bengals don't trade often, and we're not getting Chase or Higgins, but with them losing both of their safties wonder if we can work something out for Boyd by dangling Chinn.

Losing DJ plus targeting D in FA. Chinn seems like a potentially valuable trade asset and we've made a move that makes him expendable. 

I don't like the thought of trading him but if he doesn't fit the scheme...

I didn't say it would be easy. I also didn't say it would necessarily be Chinn.

It's not the worst idea I've ever heard.

Oh I'm absolutely for trading for one of the WRs rumored on the market -- Jeudy, Sutton or Hopkins would make me content at #1 for at least the next two years.

I just think it'll take more picks.

If it gets us a stud wr I will not complain.  Drafts are full of tweeners on the defensive side of the ball.

It probably will take more picks if it's Chinn they are looking to trade.

I doubt it would get us a "stud". A Tyler Boyd level guy would probably be about the best we could do. But that's also a lot better than we currently have, so...

Fitterer will have to do something in FA. He cannot hope to fix this in the draft alone. Not in one offseason anyway.

Our secondary suddenly looks beastly. Assuming Horn can ever stay healthy.

Carr being intercepted at least 4 times this year in our games. 

Got another corner? Bc i seem to remember that tampa game

Yeah, we cannot give up all we did to get a QB at #1 overall and then put these offensive skill position players around him. That would be criminal.
