No problem in trading the pick, but it does sound a little light to me. I would feel better about it with a second round pick in 24 instead of a third. I'll like everyone else will sit tight and get ready to complain about something tomorrow evening..
If we trade to 12 for only a 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd next year I will be so pissed.
Just getting a 2 and two 3s to move to 12? F you Jeremiah.
That would be a terrible trade. Unfortunately, I think we need to brace ourselves for a terrible trade.
I mean they could technically take Will Anderson at 2 and then get Stroud, Richardson or Levis with the 3rd pick.
Why?
A 2nd, a 3rd, and a future 3rd to allow a team to trade up to #3 for an elite prospect, and we go all the way down to 12 which is just outside the range of the elite prospects. Nah. You want yo QB that bad, you pay. Otherwise eff you, we stay put at take an elite prospect our damn selves.
I think the compensation is not enough but I was thinking the same thing as you. Put him at LG for a couple years then slide him over to LT when Hump retires or moves on. Right now Paris is not ready to start at tackle and we need a LG so this is a perfect scenario.
I understand that the above proposal would not be a good trade. But you said that we should expect the team to make a horrible trade, and I asked why we should expect that to happen?
Because it appears Monti is desperate to trade back and get more picks, and teams can exploit that to force a bad trade. I hope that doesn't happen, but many here have the same read on the situation and the media is picking up on it too.
Possibly. But so far Monti dont blink.... otherwise Hop would have been traded for a 5th and a 6th weeks ago.
Well if MANY here think that a bad trade will happen, that gives me hope.
He's got a lot more time with the hop trade. draft is tonight. he's got to poop or get off the pot if he wants to trade down now.
With the exception of the first overall pick most draft trades happen when the team is on the clock.
