We could draft Young or Stroud, trade them to somebody else for three first rounders, turn around and trade two of those first rounders for Jackson and boom! 😀

 

 

 

 

That is, of course, an incredibly stupid idea but it really wouldn't surprise me if somebody got behind it 😕

Do the Ravens at this point think they are getting two first round picks for him?  Hell trade our first for lamar and ask for their first this year and next year.  🤪

Isn't Will Anderson rated the best player in the draft by most?

 

Edge rushers are drafted in the top 5 all the time.

They are. But teams don't give up 2 1sts, 2 2nds and a WR1/2 under a team friendly contract to draft one. Especially when they have Andy Dalton as their best starter.

True.

 

BTW I wasn't serious about Lamar Jackson. I was just saying that we don't necessarily have to trade our 1st round pick this year if we wanted Lamar we could wait till after the draft.

We could, but we would look extremely foolish if we did. And that puts us back into desperation mode again trying to negotiate for a QB.

That's exactly how we got taken to the cleaners for Darnold. Rhule had already played his hand with T2G and we had no options really other than PJ. 

And I have no desire to bail out Baltimore or Jackson at this point unless we got to take them to the cleaners.

It'd be pretty shitty of Belichick to just scapegoat the guy since he literally had a career defensive coach operating as an OC. I mean, would you cut a TE because he sucked at LB? Well, Bill Belichick probably would. 😂

It would also be very Belichick

Knowing BB, he would probably end up trading the TE/LB hybrid away and end up with a 3rd or 4th round pick somehow.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
