Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

I would love to see us move up and take Styles but IMO that would cost us s 2027 first round pick.

Our schedule next year is brutal.  We will play every division winner and we were under .500.  This is brutal and the possibility of having a top 5 pick is very possible.  The bad season would almost certainly be because Young had a bad or mediocre season.  Giving up a first-round pick would cost us the chance to get a replacement for Young. 

Thoughts?

I think that is a better idea especially since the LB group this year is pretty strong but the thought of us getting Styles is tempting.  I would trade up for him ONLY if we don't have to give up a 1st next year.

We have way too many needs to trade up. There will be good prospects available throughout that also fit a need. If you had a crystal ball that could predict future All-Pros and HOFers, sure. But there's no sure things in the draft. Great prospects bust every draft and some mid to late rounders end up being very good pros.

Just have to take what comes to us. Styles is going top 10 easily and top 5 is a real possibility. That trade up cost is going to be ridiculous. Stay put, take the BPA or if we get a good offer, move down a little and see if we can't pick up an extra 2nd or early 3rd. We have needs at S, LB and IOL and day 2 is a good place to find them. Tackle may be in play in the 2nd as well depending on who falls.

2019 traded up for Greg Little

2022 traded up for Matt Coral

2023 traded up for Bryce Young and DJ Johnson

2024 traded up for Jonathan Brooks and XL

2025 traded up for Nick Scourton.  

1 out of 7.  Hopefully, Morgan is still humbled by his '24 draft and won't think about it.

Scariest part of the Little trade was Hurney said if Burns hadn't been there, Little would have been the pick in the 1st. Thank you to Daniel Snyder for being a meddling idiot and taking Haskins at 15.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
