Trade up for Star Lotulelei?


Catalyst

Recommended Posts

The more it looks like we won't sniff a top-5 pick and the more it seems like the Raiders will be the likely landing spot for Star Lotulelei the more I think we need to seriously consider trading up to get him.

I know some have the idea that Hankins is basically option 1-A, but that's frankly bullshit. Hankins has injury and consistency issues and Lotulelei is by far the better prospect and MUCH safer. Imagine having a Haloti Ngata type presence in the middle of our DL with Hardy and Johnson coming off the edges. We could put practically anyone beside Star and still field one of the best DL's in football.

What would it take? Likely at least our 2nd rounder and probably more, but it depends on where we're picking and we won't know for sure for a couple weeks. But it looks like it'd have to be the Raiders who we trade with and I have a sense they'd be willing to move down for the right price.

No way!

I agree. Keep our picks. We know we are without our 3rd and 7th plus either our 5th or 6th we gave up for Murphy. We may get one compensatory back. But with only 5 picks in a draft that is deep in many positions of need for us, lets hang on to what we have.

Giving away next years 2nd for a team coming off 3 straight losing seasons doesnt sound reasonable. Many of our vets contracts will be expiring after the '13-14 season so we will need those top draft picks to fill holes.

No no no no no. I'd LOVE star, but we'd need to leapfrog Oakland mos likely, which is looking more and more likely like the second or first pick. Which would require a LOT. Even if that wasn't the case we still need the picks, if anything we need to see if we could tra DOWN for more pics.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
