What could a trade down look like?

Did I read somewhere Joe P hinted that AR was 2 on our board or am I insane? 

He threw it out as kind of a "what if" thing. He actually seems to be kind of regretting it now (I think both Richardson fans and Stroud fans are pestering him about it) 😄

When asked, he said he still believes the pick would be either Young or Stroud... most likely Young.

That would take CJ Stroud and Bryce Young out of reach and no possible franchise QB for us if that had taken place.

If the rumors that they love Richardson are true, the status of Young and Stroud makes no difference.

Don't get me wrong, I think Richardson is a huge gamble with a potential huge payoff and he is not my choice.  I sure the hell would not draft him at #1, though, so if they are thinking that way........

There could be other "influences" that pump the price of #1 up....like Houston thinking Indy is going to make us an offer we can't refuse and take the guy they want.

The trade value chart is like any other set of numbers:  it is a pretty accurate guide over the long haul, but the caveat "all other things being equal" needs to be added to the end.  For the #1 pick or even a top 3-5, all other things are rarely equal.

That's it! Make Indy give up a poo ton, pick Will Anderson Jr., and roll with Corral and Dalton. #Fitmagic! #sarcasm

Sorry who is “they” panthers or another team?

Panthers. 

Sorry about the vagueness, I am in a Zoom meeting that I don't care about, but I have to listen enough to make sure nobody says anything incredibly stupid.  Merely stupid is normal, but incredibly stupid I have to speak up on.

Funny you should mention...

Caplan points out that if Richardson slides out of the top ten and the Texans don't take a quarterback second overall, they could conceivably pick him up at #12.

Wouldn't that be interesting 🤔

I believe he said it would be a trade back scenario for Richardson, and I'm assuming he meant further back than 2. Somehow people interpreted that as him jumping Stroud in QB order

Try applying that principle to this forum 😐

Nah, he actually meant #2.

It was pure speculation, and per his own admission unlikely, but that's what he said.

Reading between the lines of some of his more recent stuff, I think he's regretting that he ever said it 😄

Personally, that is my position, too.  It doesn't hurt to churn the waters to see if somebody puts something on the table that is really absurd, but the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

I don't think it happens.

But with that said, if we picked the right guy and also got extra picks back, hell yeah 😃

I really think this will happen. I think Bryce and Stroud will will top 5, maybe Richardson, and then Levis and Hooker in the mid first round.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
