Trading Down

So without a CBA you cannot trade players, but did you know there won't be a draft next year until an agreement is reached? You can't trade picks from a draft that doesn't exist. All trades would currently have to be done with this year's picks alone.

Trading down will be nightmarishly difficult without a CBA.

The draft is not a CBA thing--we are having one this year, right?

I will reiterate what I have said before in much less detail. If we trade down, I would insist on a second rounder and a first rounder in 2012 as a necessary part of the deal. The reason? If we trade down and need a QB again next year, we are likely picking in the top 10. The first rounder we would acquire should be enough to trade up and get a franchise QB then. I am guessing we would have enough to get the first, second, or third pick in the draft, which should guarantee us a top QB.

If we do not get the first rounder and finish 7-9 with bad QB play, we have the 15th pick and the opportunity to get a franchise QB is gone. In other words, we are dropping 5-10 spots and getting a second rounder. We should still get a Fairley, Peterson, Green, Quinn, Bowers, and possibly a Dareus or a Gabbert or Newton. The first rounder is insurance. In 2012, if we do not need a QB because we solved it, we have 2 first rounders. That could be the start of a dynasty.

Actually the reason we are having the draft this year is because it said they would in the last CBA even in a situation like this (to me that doesn't seem to make sense but that is what was reported).

Also Chris Mortensen addressed this to someone on twitter today and he said that the only draft pick that can be traded is in this year's draft if a new CBA is not reached because the draft is part of the CBA. So if we did trade back we could receive no future picks which might lessen the possibility that we do indeed trade out of the pick.

MHS does that change you opinion of trading back if Mort is correct?? Honest question no snark intended. :)

RT @lde857: @mortreport @Micah_J_D Next year's draft is not provided for in expired CBA. So can't trade next yr's picks w/o new CBA.

Yes. And the people on this thread make very good points. This is the most messed up crap I have ever seen. The only way I would feel good about having the first pick and not taking a QB would be if I knew I postioned myself to take one the following year should my veteran not pan out. I think We have to take a QB now. Good work, Teeray.

In fairness, this is the year Brown needs to show what he can do, so I will reserve judgement until the season is well underway. Armanti was resented by Fox and Davidson, so maybe the fresh start will do him some good. Let him focus on 1 thing (WR) and not throw WR, Wildcat, and PR at him all at once. there could be something there. Even if he becomes a pro bowler, it was a stupid trade, however.

Here is what bothers me about Hurney:

1. Trading in the first to get a RT

2. Trading a first to get E Brown when FSU DEs nearly always bust

3. Not seeing what others who needed a QB saw in Jimmy Clausen that caused them not to take him in the second round. I heard he offered the Rams our first rounder in 2011 to move up in the second round (a la Brown) and the Rams declined.

4. Trading up to get Armanti Edwards. He would have been there in the fourth round-probably sixth round. If he was taken, so what. NE fans are laughing at us.

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
