You don’t, but at least you’re getting a great, BIG, receiver to play outside for 1 year on a cap friendly deal instead a small, decent receiver to play (maybe) outside for a year on a cap friendly deal….

2,2,2, years.

$2mm in 2022
$13mm for the 5th year option in 2023

Where did you get the $20M figure? It does make for a nice argument, but I think it might have been even better to use $25M.

Um, so you think a team would have literally paid us to trade up 6 spots? We ONLY gave up the #23 and we RECEIVED the #100. I don't need the draft chart to know you don't get paid to trade up lol

The problem is we’re going to have to pay Brown, starting next year with his extension. Then the following year we have to re-sign him. WRs are making huge chunk of change these days. I would’ve rather gave up 86 and 23 to move up and take a WR with a rookie deal for 4 years before taking Hollywood. Pick 100 doesn’t really move the needle for me. This is a good draft for depth, but pick 100 is almost the 4th round. Tonight I could change my mind if we pick a guy like Kobe Bryant from Cincinnati with the 100th pick

2,2,2, years.

Next year we’ll have to pick up his option, $13.5m/ guaranteed. That makes him a top 30 paid WR. We’ll have 2 of them on the team

When did height become the determining factor on how good you are?

Let's ask Steve Smith.

They wanted a deep threat burner. Which isn't Burks.

So Rondale Moore is a wasted 2nd round pick? Keim used to let his draft picks finish out 4 years before replacing them, but now why wait I guess. Brown will fill Kirks role, but i assumed Moore would fill in that role as he’s fast can play in the slot. This trade is nothing more than keeping Kyler happy and I think we overpaid for a slightly above average player IMO

Quick google search said $18.4, but that was for a WR who had 2+ pro bowl years. Hollywood has 0, so he doesn’t qualify. I said $20 as a guess, which I even said, but wasn’t far off for a top player. Brown has 0 pro bowls, hasn’t played a full season, but sure he’ll warrant a first round pick.

That is chump change.

That is chump change.

6% of the salary cap. $30m+ locked up in two WRs alone

There' every possibility Nuke gets moved on after the season, and, if not, I'm totally cool with a bit over $30 mill to have a dynamic top 2 WR corps.

Salary cap is rumoured to have a massive boost next year.

Sucks for the Niners today.

Apparently Jets offered a big package including #10 for Deebo and then AJ Brown goes for just #18.

Deebo's value dropped overnight.

Of course you realize that Baltimore is a run heavy team. Supposedly one of the reasons why Brown wanted out.

 

[BritCard]

Horrible trade.

Man, I thought "Didn't the Saints make a similar trade a few years back for Davenport?"

The Saints moved from 27 to 14 (the Lions moved from 32 to 12) and the Saints gave up the following years 1st round pick to do that. The Lions gave up a 3rd...

Go back to draft Deebo came out and I was shouting from the mountaintops to take him because my brother is a Carolina alum and I follow players from them as well as ASU.

But I think all of this talk about trading a high pick for Deebo is absolute lunacy. Dude is going to get hurt again...it's not a matter of if but when. And I don't for see him having a long career because of the sheer numbers of injuries the guy has had already.
