Marc Ryan - "Carolina Zeroed in on Stroud and Richardson"

[Hoenheim]

Would make absolutely 0 sense to trade up to 1 for Richardson, if you trade down to 3 or 4 for him then why trade up to 1 in the first place. Probably could've kept DJ and gave up a little less to get to 3 and get him. 

I think I've seen it reported that no team in the history of the NFL draft has ever traded up to #1 and then traded out of it. The Panthers would be stupid as hell to be the first team to do so

So we are really interested in Bryce I take it.

If I'm the Texans, I'm just chuckling at all these "leaks", this misinformation. Whether most of it is intentional or not, I'm sure some of it is deliberate. And if they're afraid of losing out on their guy - if they have one - they've got a reasonable chance that we don't take him anyway, whoever it is.

Sitting in the pole position of the draft for so long is going to be rampant with speculation and endless misdirection, especially with so many QB needy teams near the top.

The most annoying part from this will be after the pick is finally made and all the people who luckily guessed correctly will all be like "see, I knew it" lol.  Gosh, needs to be draft day already.

If we traded to the 1 spot and gave up all that to get Richardson…..that seems like another poor move by this braintrust.  

Nothing really against Richardson the prospect…but his odds were too high of being available where we were.    And if we weren’t head over heels in love with anyone why do it.   We could have just drafted a guy that had decent potential at our old spot.   Any of the 4 would be worth a swing to a team in QB purgatory.   Why give up all that we did.

Team with the #1 overall pick doesn’t have to play games though.  Entire league knew we were taking Cam the year we got him.

Exactly. 

You keep DJ, move up to 3 and are still getting one of Stroud, Young, AR...possibly the '25 second rounder too.

[Sub Zero]

Shefter just said on TV yesterday it’s between Young and Stroud and Young has the lead right now..

 

None of these ppl know crap.. jmo

I heard it's was Richardson and the trade down was for the Texans and Colts so they could go get him since most think they like Stroud and Young. :shrugs:

It was reported that the price they were quoted for the #3 pick wasn't much lower than the price they were quoted for the #1 overall pick, so they took any doubt out of it and traded for #1 overall.

Who knows if they're going to trade out again, but the rumours suggest they're not sold on one particular prospect right now.

yep, and nobody yet has proposed what a trade with houston would look like

Well number 12 for starters. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm almost starting to think that Richardson is our target and that's why we'd consider trading down a spot or two. We'd still be thrilled with Stroud and Young but we're really tempted to take a shot on Richardson's immense talent... but we're scared of being kicked like SF was with Mac Jones. Signing an Andy Dalton means you're not forced to play him right away.
