Would you trade our #1 for next year's #1 and this year 2nd?

Hate to give up a first rounder but here's my thinking( assuming someone would do this):

  • This year is considered weak but deep draft
  • With cap issue, and tough schedule, we may not see great progress in 2013
  • It would allow us to add some contributers in 2013, but add 2 first rounders plus hopefully free agents in 2014, and allow us to make a huge jump.

Cincy has 2 2nd rounders this year and may feel they're one player away from making a move.

Miami also has 2 2nd rounders thogh I doubt they'd give up a future 1st rounder.

I would wait to see how the draft plays out to see what player falls to us at #14 . If a team is willing to make a deal , then we

decide to pull the trigger. I would love to use some lower picks to get back our 3rd pick this year or maybe a player and a pick for

a 3rd rounder.

It would depend on the potential trade partner. If it was Jax, I'd do it. If it was San Fran or Baltimore, I'd want more than that.

I dont think Jax would try to trade up. If it did, it would have to be a team like who the OP said above, someone who think that they're a player away from winning (i.e. Atl trade for Julio 2011). Also it would be a team with "two 2nd rounders" like Miami or Cincy. I havent check but Im thinking SF and Baltimore doesnt have two 2nd rds. I might be wrong.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
