Another Scenario Involving Watkins


Recommended Posts

Yes, this is worthy of its own thread. Think about this unbiassedly: Trade JJ and his bum foot (I'm a big JJ fan, so I'm not bashing) to a receiver needy team and get some serious draft pick compensation for him. We could then have the ammo to take Watkins and whoever drops to us at 6. Now we won't be stuck with JJ's upcoming monster deal and we'll get 2 real impact players, brilliant!

So you're expecting one of the top five picks to give us more than a first round pick for Julio?

Because, for you to say that we can "get Watkins and then whoever drops to us at 6", it would need to be a top five pick. And there's no way that I'd swap Julio straight up for Watkins. Julio has proven that he is one of the best wide receivers in the league. Watkins, while very good, is not Julio-level at the moment.

No, we would trade to someone in the teens that need a #1 receiver, then use those picks to move up and have 2 top 10 picks.

I'll bet you are one of the morons who thinks Hawley is a good center and Kroy Biermann's absence is why our D was so awful last season.

Feel free to continue being stupid. Considering the thread that you're in, you are among your own kind.

Didn't swift make a thread of this exact same idea? Trading Julio to St. Louis for their first round picks and drafting Clowney at 2, Watkins at 6, and also having a pick at 13 for Donald/Hageman/Lewan?

The issue is the cost of his jj's contract as iy pertains to cap space. We tend to overpay our players. Look at sam baker, decoud, gonzalez, clabo, ray edwards. Ohh and what if we didnt resign ryan after this dismall season im sure we could have done a more favorable deal. What im hopin is the influx of pioli will translate into smarter contracts. And actually i could see us trading roddy if we were to take watkins not julio roddys career is starting to wind down and this years contract is not to bad so his trade value is higher now than later. Of course it would be nice having jj roddy and sammy to throw too
