Would you do it (trade)

probably, Jerry, Chase, Horn at least have NFL tools to fool yourself over.  Bryce is a unicorn attempting to defy the positional rules. 

 

 

wouldn't lump in Horn with those others. Bryce, Jerry, Chase all have shown absolutely nothing at all on the field. Horn at least when healthy is pretty dominant.

lol wtf, I wouldn't take Jeudy and them giving us a 3rd for just Horn. 

Oh, I'm probably taking that deal if you are giving a 3rd.  Give me a 3rd and Jerry.   Because Horn is walking if I am the GM.  And we ain't doing diddly as a franchise from now until the time he walks.

I mean, you probably could make the same argument about Jaycee Horn at this point though. 

I mean, Jeff Otah had been a running joke for YEARS around here. 

Otah suited up for 60% of his games through 3 years

Horn suited up for 43% of his games through 3 years

not saying I would do this trade but I would most definitely think about trading Horn given I wouldn't pay him with his history. 

I posted a thread about trading Horn last week. I'm in favor of trading him for draft capital. Not a fellow draft bust.

I mean, Chase Young? Chase Young was DROY and a Pro Bowler.  He has crazy physical gifts and a hopeful opening to the NFL to fool people with.   I don't see how we can put a corner that never plays in a different tier.  They just fooling you slightly different.

I would not take the deal as presented here. 

I would deal Horn though.  But yeah, if a team wants to take a high risk gamble for a decent draft pick? I'd take that all day for Horn.  But realistically that pick ain't going to be what the huddle thinks he is worth.

I think something like that will be on the table. And the first pick of the second round is always a popular pick. 

We'd have to move back like 7-9  picks to get a top of the 4th round selection.  There should be a glut of WRs in that area as the top tier guys will be all gone.  As long as they have 2 or 3 guys rated close in that second tier, that could be an option.

Horn has enough potential when healthy that a measly 3rd isn't a big enough return to make it worth it. And worth noting Jeudy has a cap hit $7M more than Horn so good luck signing free agents when wasting cap like that on a scrub. I decline Horn's 5th year option but keep him this year and plan to get him on a bridge deal after that or if he dominates this year without missing time, tag and keep or trade him for a bigger return.

Chase Young is absolutely worthless. Pro bowl means nothing considering half the league makes it by the time everyone drops out. That defensive rookie class was atrocious and he won it on name recognition and draft position alone. His career pace is 6 sacks per season and he has also missed significant time. It's very telling the skins couldn't get more than a very late 3rd (either last or 2nd to last in the round) for him.

I'd take a 3rd for Horn.  I don't see how you could get more for him at this point.  I know the huddle wouldn't be cool with that though.  But if you aren't going to pay him, that's decent value give what he has proven to be at this level over 3 years.

I'm not arguing Chase Young is anything.   I'm arguing in the eyes of the football world......Horn isn't viewed that much differently in terms of value to obtain. 

I don't see a team willing to give up more than a 3rd ish for Horn.  That was Young's value.  He is just a similar risk for a different variety.

Jeudy had 54 catches on 84 targets.  Over 750 yards.  Has improved every year.  Horn has missed most of his games.  He is about 25, entering the 4th year of his contract. 

Horn is solid, but man, he is often injured.  FWIW, I said the same thing about Thomas Davis and CMC.  They recovered pretty well.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
