I keep hearing at least a first, but that seems a lot to me for a receiver with injury problems and possible mental health stuff too. Interestingly this article had the Eagles as his number one landing spot. I just think Philly is alway considered the number one landing spot for every available player even if Howie rarely makes any of these trades.

Extremely talented player, but no way I'd consider giving up a 1st for a player who missed the last 11 games as he took off to address mental health issues.  Factor in he is entering the final year of his contract (he is currently scheduled to become a UFA in 2023), so he'd have to agree to a new deal (and will now eat a relatively large chunk of cap), and I likely wouldn't even do a 2nd - a 3rd is probably the highest I'd go.  They may be better off keeping the pick and signing someone like Robinson in FA.

I think it is a much more likely scenario Howie either trades up to get a QB (likely involving multiple 1s) or deals a truckload of picks to acquire someone like Wilson.  Either one of those will likely lead to me having to purchase a new TV the next day. 

 

So you can watch it all in 8k? 

If he trades, I'd only want 1 of the 3 first rounders traded and use the other 2.

A good scenario would be repeating a similar trade as last year's.  Trade back but collect a future 1st.  I don't know if the picks they'll have would bring that same value though.  But trading back for a future 1st and still having another 1st later and still taking 3 picks in the 1st round is good.

Or, trade a 1st for a player truly worth it and take 2 other selections would be ok but that player really has to be worth it.

Yeah there are viable FA options. They could get JuJu who is younger and also coming off injury. I wouldn’t mind Mike Williams myself. Save the pick and go the FA route.

I’m firmly on board with using 15 and 16, and trading 32. 
 

 

Call me a homer, but as far as trading one of the picks for next year, I know it's disappointing that the Miami and Indy picks turned out to not be top 10, but given the projections for QBs in this draft, mid round picks may be ones that teams that are desperate for a QB now will trade excess capital for so we might be well positioned.
