What will we get for Steve Smith?


Recommended Posts

Obviously we weren't able to get draft picks for this year's draft so do we instead go for 2012 draft picks. That would make the most sense as we could get additional value (possibly even a 1st rounder), depending on the team.

Or we could make a player for player trade. But who do we want from the Chargers, Ravens, Raiders, or whoever we end up making a trade with?

Unless we can get a 2012 first rounder, I think we should keep Smith though.

If we can get Malcom Floyd though, I would be happy with getting a 2nd or a good defensive tackle through a trade.

We're not getting a second we're definitely not getting a first. Our best value in trading Steve Smith will be if we can get a proven but still young veteran who is a malcontent for another team....

I hope it's not some scrub guy off SD's defense coming over just because of his existing relationship with Rivera. Honestly, there's not a player on SD's defense that would be an upgrade over any of our players except Jammer and Weddle. Maybe a DT, but I have faith in our rookies and Landri (and hopefully Cofield).

Prior to now, I wouldn't have expected to get higher than a fourth for Smith, but if the reports about multiple teams having interest are true and there's a little competition, we might end up getting better than he'd objectively be worth.

    • I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.
    • Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
    • And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
