That would cost them this and next season's draft because we know it's for a QB and they have to compete against other QB needy teams for that #4 pick. falcons007, Ovie_Lover and Vandy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not gonna make that jump but if they wanted to give us a boat load of picks I’d be cool with trading down to their spot.  Would be a gamble but we might be able to get Najee at 21.

Atlantafan21 10,957 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Will likely be a fringe HOF and used as an example of a player that is either just good enough or not quite good enough to make it in. Unfortunate he’ll go out without a ring, but still enjoyed a very nice career. At the very least, he’s probably the best trash talking QB to ever lace them up. Sui_Generis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thanat0s 5,342 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just now, dmite said: They’ll trade for Wentz. I could see that. In fact, I expect that situation will shake out before anyone makes a play for a QB through the draft.  Also, if SF parts ways with Jimmy G, I'd expect him to land in New England again, taking them out of the QB race for at least a year or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would cost them this and next season's draft because we know it's for a QB and they have to compete against other QB needy teams for that #4 pick. Would be similar to the Julio Trade except we could probably get even more. They would be coming up slightly higher (4 rather than 6) but starting higher also (21 instead of 27) If we could get a better package the Browns got from us you do it no question. (1st, 2nd, 4th, Next years 1st, 4th) Maybe instead of 4ths its 3rds both years. Another possibility is us trading Ryan to them for their 1st if we go QB at 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
