Grouper, that’s the scenario that got us Hill. No players, but lots of draft picks… more valuable to the Chiefs as they KNOW how to draft. And We are paying huge money for Hill.
Roquan Smith wants out
- Thread starter IMAWriter
- Start date
It is unlikely that any team will offer a 1st round pick for Smith.
Hmmm.. and your reasoning is?
Roquan Smith landing spots: Five potential trade destinations for Bears linebacker
Roquan Smith has asked for a trade from the Bears. Here are some teams that could be interested.

Dolphins named one of 5 teams that could trade for him
I have watched him play. He's real good. But I repeat, "NOT AT THAT PRICE". No freaking way.
Nah I’m keeping baker. A linebacking core of Baker, smith and Tindall sounds like maybe the most terrifying linebacker trio the league has ever seen. How do you game plan for that? Imagine blitzing them in a cover 0, teams wouldn’t be able to finish their dropback. Give up some picks and rearrange the cap, trying to buy a Super Bowl here.
Agree to disagree. I value the position greatly.
not a premier position and he wants an extension to be one of the best paid off LBs
Gotta remember team wants to extend Wilkins and he's gonna be the priority
Well, I guess remembering how Sam Huff handled Jim Brown, LT handled everyone, and Zach controlled the middle, I have a slightly different take. He is prolly a top 3 LB. Right now, we have 1 top 3 receiver, 1 top 5 corner. Period. Having a top 3 LB would lift the defense from a top 12 defense to top 6 or 7… at least. IMO of course.
This is true. I’m hoping the $$ to Armstead is justified. If only CG could evaluate OLinemen better.
We can say it's Grier's evaluation if the current coaches can't get anything out of the young guys. First blame goes to Flo and his crap coaching hires. 4 OL coaches in 3 years?
Here is my thought.
If he can be had for the 49ers 1st round pick and you can get a deal done - do it.
As a contrarian, we are talking a position that many disregard or underinvest in. So to do better than marginally on such a key role is good. To be transcendent is better, while you aren’t paying your QB. Do not get worked up about contracts and stuff like they aren’t. We have few weaknesses, if not THIS role and guy.
You are not going to get this sort of impact from anyone not named Tyreek Hill in a trade. Xavien Howard is off books 2-3 years.
Get this man if it isn’t a ransom, sign Wilkins. Crush it.
BTW - why is an off ball linebacker who ranks in the top 5 or so in the last decade not a premium position? Based on what analysis, other than positional bias and trends in salaries and draft slots? He can play the pass, if that’s the bias.

Gesicki plus a 2nd or 1st and no Gesicki
I like your chutzpah, but neither will feed the bulldog I’m afraid
