Rosen plus X and #5 for #3?

[Carne Asada]

I know X's guaranteed money is a lot, and the cap hit would be huge but we can afford it. The contract for the Lions wouldn't be that bad once we eat the guaranteed money. Probably best use of our cap space anyhow. Will have a cheaper team next year, when I can really see us being big spenders. Would you do it?

No.

No

How bout just the 5th pick and then Rosen. A young QB to learn behind Stafford

 

[mrhankey81701]

In a heartbeat

Tough.......

but yes.

Why are we moving up to #3 again? If it’s draft Tua then we are dumb. No team is taking him or jumping us to take him lol

Trading up for an injured player, damn why didn't I think of that!

The Chargers at 6 could easily trade up with the Lions or Giants and take whatever QB they want. It might not be Tua. It could be the guy we wanted at 5 though.

I personally don’t see us making a trade up. Even if we did it would almost certainly not include X. His contract is massive for teams with already limited cap space like the Lions.

I wouldn’t trade any of the Dolphins draft picks to move up in the draft. If they want Tua and he is there at 5, take him if that’s what they want to do. If he is already off the board there will be a lot of players still on the board to draft who can fill the many holes the Dolphins have on the roster. Trading up to draft Tua and likely having to give up 2 #1 picks and probably a second round pick if not more makes no sense at all. The Dolphins have far too many positions to fill to give up a number of draft picks for one player.

The Chargers at #6 don't have the draft assets to trade up unless they trade away their future.
They only have single picks in the first 3 rounds this year.
They would have to trade away future 1st and 2nd round draft picks.
A stupid move for a team that still has Philip Rivers and can draft a QB next year or take Hebert with#6 if the Fins take Tua this year.

This!!! Zero reason to move up to draft Tua.

Stand pat at #5 and draft Tua. No need to give anything up ......
