Just testing out a theory

If it means anything to your theory, I think it would be absolutely stupid to trade Smith for Rivers, as that would be taking his (Rivers) number one target away.

Sure, you could sign someone else, but no one on the board has come up with any viable, legitimate #2 threats, much less someone for #1 that's actually realistic and possible.

As for Williams; I would be more inclined to give them Stewart. Both backs are needed for one of them to succeed, but why would you trade your known star when his replacement might be troubled with injuries?

On a personal level I'd not trade either of my favorite two football players for anything.

However, were this my business I'd have to seriously consider the offer of Rivers for Williams.

Bringing him here without Smith would be a waste though.

Smith for Rivers is a "Gift of the Magi" trade (i.e. the loss of what you give up offsets the benefit of what you gain) so no, I wouldn't do that.

Williams for Rivers? If not for Moore's last five games, I'd think about it, but in the end I probably still wouldn't do it. Too close to another "trade off" result.

From the flip side, I seriously doubt San Diego would do either deal. An older receiver for a young QB? Not a good trade. And why give up Rivers for Williams when you already have Tomlinson and Sproles?

Because they're going to release LT and Sproles isn't an every down back.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
