St Louis at #2


stirs

Recommended Posts

I would not be surprised if other teams call their bluff and they do not get the big trade they are looking for. I have read and heard that Cleveland is interested in Matt Flynn, a proven cold weather NFL QB who can run their offense. If they sign him, then they can use number 4 on the top WR in Blackmon possibly and then pick up Richardson or another good back later. I think they would like to keep as many picks as possible to rebuild.

St Louis would then hope someone else would want to move up, but why would the Redskins move? Just let RGIII fall to them. Seahawks are interested, but would ruin their organization with all the picks they would have to give up to move to #2.

FA will clear up a lot expecially if Flynn goes to Miami.

I've seen on twitter that the Redskins are ready to offer the Rams their 1, 2, and 3 round picks and a 3rd round next year to move up. Later that day (yesterday) I saw a report that Cleveland is willing to offer #4, #22, their 3rd round pick this year (or maybe even their 2nd rounder), and then another pick next year.

I highly doubt St. Louis will be picking #2. If they can get Cleveland's to offer their 2nd in the deal, they will have 4 picks in the top 37 this year, which is a very deep class. Also, Cleveland has the upper hand because they pick #4. At that spot, Kalil or Blackmon will be there (or maybe both if Minnesota takes Claiborne). If they swap with Washington, all 3 could be gone.

There have also been several reports saying that the Packers will use the tag on Matt Flynn and then possibly trade him. Although, Flynn has said that he wants to stay with Green Bay as the backup.

The Redskins are my faves to move up. I actually think Cleveland likes the talent level where they are picking. I also think they are not finished with Colt. I think instead they will look for a big play WR and a new more durable RB to replace both Hillis and though he will be on the roster next year Hardesty. I mean they could easily have a first round of T-rich and Hill/Randle or Blackmon and Wilson/ Miller or Polk. Is that better than RG3? Maybe.

I agree, I think Cleveland would be smart to stay put. If they could grab Richardson at #4, then Wright at #22, and use their 2nd round pick for the BPA on defense, I'd say it's better than RG3. Give Colt another shot with some talent around him. If things don't work out, next year's draft has a few very talented QBs as well.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
