We need better LB's
I would be cool with it as long as we don't draft Pitts with #8.
We had a huge advantage in that last year... we had so many picks that other teams really did not want to bid against us.I mean you are getting back a higher valued first and the QB you covet.
Watson is probably gonna net 3 firsts and more. Lets say Zach Wilson has a Justin Herbert first year, or Fields is like Deshaun, That 2022 first, which could be anywhere from pick 1 to pick 32 will seem like a distant memory for Carolina. And they fill their biggest need and will increase in value over time.
It is also why you have seen some of the most respected posters on here, guys who absolutely believe Tua will be a great QB, still take a QB with the 3 pick, because that maximizes the pick. Carolina is getting off easy by securing one this way.
But this is the game you play as GM. Grier held off at the 5 pick and it paid off for him as the one he wanted fell to him.
Yes. First round picks historically have a higher rate of success than second round picks. To me it isn’t worth going from 3 to 8 for an additional second round pick in 2021 and 2022. I would tell them it has to be their first round pick in 2022 along with 8 and a second round pick this year or no deal.Carolina says they will not give you a 2022 first but offers 2022 second, you staying at #3?
If that’s the case, I would not trade out of three.You are not getting any 2022 first unless you drop back to 19-24
I mean that just isn't true.
Here is the Wentz trade from 2016: Eagles moved up from 8 to 2.
The Eagles get: The No. 2 pick in 2016 and a 2017 fourth-round pick.
The Browns get: The No. 8 pick in 2016, the No. 77 pick (third round) in 2016, the No. 100 pick (fourth round) in 2016, a 2017 first-rounder and a 2018 second-rounder.
So factoring this trade . . . and us having the 3 pick instead of the 2 pick, lets say that difference is us losing the 2nd round pick.
The final trade for us would be 3 for 8, 73 and the 2022 first.
This would be ideal. I might consider someone else than Smith but the trade down to 8 would be smart imo
Trade value chart says #3 for #8, #39, and a 2022 second round pick.
While this is true whoever trades to the #3 spot is most likely picking the #3 ranked QB prospect. Wentz was the #2 ranked QB by most. And it's seems that many aren't as high on Fields/lance/Jones to give up that much. It would certainly make me nervous as well because those guys have some question marks. Now, if Zach Wilson is still on the board at #3 then I could see a team falling in love with him and willing to trade something similar to what the eagles gave up for Wentz.
I would take that.Trade value chart says #3 for #8, #39, and a 2022 second round pick.
