Would You Trade A 1st Rounder For Victor Cruz?

Dumb logic??? Ok, Brandon Marshall is a true #1 WR and he was traded for two 3rd rounders. So yeah, trading your 1st for a slot reciever (not even #1 on his team) is Dumb. Giants placed a 1st round tender on Cruz because they knew nobody would touch it. And if someone DID, they'd get a 1st for nothing. No one in their right mind would make that trade. And it has nothing to do wether he was drafted or not....BRO!!!

 

That is not what you said.  You implied that what we traded for him had a direct relationship to where he was drafted.  That is dumb logic.   Btw why wouldn't you trade a number 1 for a guy like Victor Cruz?  I don't expect to end up with a top ten pick next year.   You wouldn't trade a 22 for a young proven commodity, that our GM has experience with?   Receivers take a while to develop when they come out.  We're getting ready to head into our golden age, we're almost ready to make a deep playoff run.  I'd trade for Cruz.  Newton to Cruz has a nice ring.

 

Oh and BTW the only reason the 3rd rounders got Marshall is because of the circus he brings in.  If it wasn't for the controversy that historically he's always brought to a franchise they would have traded a 1st rounder.

Cruz - 1st round pick AND big salary

It's a double whammy peoples

 

I cannot believe it took almost 3 paged full of comments before someone actually thinks before making a post. Thank you! I am not even going to bother reading the rest but I think I have a way of putting it that most huddle would understand better:

 

Would you rather have:

1. Cruz

2. A first rounder pick and the Kraken? 

 

Because there is not chance in hell we could trade for and sign Cruz long term and pay the Kralen next year. 

 

Someone still thinks trading for Cruz is a good idea?

No what I implied was that the Giants receiving a first when they had NOTHING invested in him , would make them the clear winners in any trade that includes a 1st.

Very few players are worth a first round pick.

Considering how many 1st round picks bust out every year I would have to say that is inaccurate. If you could trade your 1st round pick for Cruz and pay him what you would pay your first round rookie there isn't a team in the league who wouldn't do that.

He is definitely worth a 1st round pick just not the contract he may be seeking. If he makes you a playoff team then that pick loses value anyway. It's a money thing not a pick thing.

Nothing you just said makes my point inaccurate at all. Whether Victor Cruz is worth a first rounder or not is up for debate, but there still aren't many players in the league that a team would trade their 1st round pick for. And besides, any player that you would trade a 1st round pick for would be asking for that kind of money anyways, and that's usually the main reason that a team would rather just draft someone that could develop.

I would not he's a good player but all big market players get overrated a bit, best example of this is Roy Williams the Cowboys safety was just ok in coverage but could lay a big hit every once in a while(and get ran over too lol), and went to tons of Probowls because he plays for the Cowboys when every year I wouldnt say he was actually one of the 2 best safeties in the NFC ever

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.
