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 know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
