Pep and our 2nd for it?

Bam, we get our QB of the future and save money by getting rid of Pep and not having a second.

Why the hell would we draft a QB with a number 1 overall pick? Stafford is not a number 1. IF we got the number one overall and IF we were not able to trade down, we would be wise to take Orapko to take Pepper's place

I wouldn't even trade for the 1st overall unless I got a packaged deal for both first round picks or I already had a deal in place to trade back down with it.

Pick it up with next years first, 2nd and a 4th rounder this year, then trade back to like 18th spot and pick back up a 1st this year and one next year, and a 2nd. Then trade Peppers to a team for a pick around 16th - 20th, 3rd rounder and a 5th rounder. Adding 2 first this year, an extra 3rd, and 5th rounder this year as well. While swapping 2nd's this year and first's this year. Only pick we really give up is a 4th rounder this year and Peppers.

Don't really know how you can say Stafford is not worthy of the #1 pick. From everything I have heard and read he is extremely dedicated, very smart, and has all of the physical tools. You never know until you get the QB into camp and on the field but he is about as good a prospect as has come out at that position. It will all depend on the environment he can get into...ours would be conducive to making him a great QB. The point is moot tho considering we would never trade into that spot. What would the price tag even be for it tho??

Or, you could trade to the 1st pick and overall trade it back to get more picks :-D

That sounds interesting. This draft seems like a sleeper draft. Not too many top talents, but tons of potential with the likely 2-4 rounders.

Stafford might be worth a number one overall for someone, but we would be stupid if we did take him there. But you also have to keep in mind that "extremely dedicated, very smart, and has all of the physical tools," is pretty much exactly what was said about Alex Smith. It's a seller's market for QBs right now, and it's just not worth the risk. We went to the Super Bowl with an undrafted; we're not the kind of team that needs a Peyton Manning to succeed. And while I would love a Peyton Manning, a number one overall can turn into a Jamarcus Russel just as easily. It's just not a smart time to be drafting a QB #1 overall unless your franchise has nothing to lose, like the Lions at this point.

no one will bite. dolphins tried it last year. you could get a good 3 or 4 extra picks from it but no one wants to pay the price. it just isn't worth it. not only would you have to give up a ton to the other team but you would have to pay out a ton on a high risk/high price prospect.

lions know that stafford could drop to probably 10th if they don't take him (no one else needs a QB that badly in the top 10) and there is no reason that you should have to pay that kind of money to one person when you could get them for a much cheaper rate (probably $2-4mil/year) about an hour or two later.

their needs are so great in so many areas....this sounds like a no brainer but it's highly unlikely that it will work.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
