Rumor of the Day

[Harry]

I know some of you hate rumors, but I think they can provide a good basis for discussions. I’m on some email chains with knowledge people who have bold questions. Here’s one.

The Lions may be considering offering the Cards the Lions 2 first round picks (6,18) for the Cards’ third pick. Would you do it if you were the Cards’ GM?

My answer: I’d pass, but if I did it I’d trade down at 6 too. I’d try to grab Van Ness or Bresee With one of my picks. I think the top DLs would be gone by 6. I’m not convinced Murphy has the motor.

With the Carter news, #3 becomes more valuable, IMO...and Anderson could very well be gone in top 2.

Does this still hold? I always thought the Lions were most hot for Jalen Carter. They have a million edge rushers already.

They can probably pick Carter up at 18 after today.

If Anderson is gone, 6 and 18 would be a great haul for #3.

 

[Tacticool Nerd]

Honestly I'd take it. Maybe even get Bijan Robinson at 18.

 

[Minski]

If Anderson is gone, 6 and 18 would be a great haul for #3.

That is the only case I consider a trade down this draft. If Anderson is gone then get as many picks as possible and draft beef & edge. BPA all the way in the draft. If Anderson is there then hands off and run to the podium

 

[CardsFan88]

Assuming Anderson gone, I don't think we take Carter, at least at 3.

If we got 6 and 18, we should consider him at one of those spots.

New regime, who knows what Monti will do.

Really depends. Lots of details to come out yet.

If it turns out he could have stopped and helped then he might be done. Won't be anyone interested in someone who let a teammate die to save his own ass.

If he did stop to help but it was game over and then he left the scene it's still not good, but salvageable. If the police just treat him as a witness that left then it will all be relatively minor but if they have proof from bars he was at that he was drinking and they go after him for racing, leaving the scene of an accident and first-degree vehicular homicide (if Carter hit the vehicle).

A similar thing happened recently in Georgia. Still much to learn about this one.

[Zalixar]

We either get dibs at Anderson at 3 or we get massive value for the #2 QB.

Exactly. We have no idea other than he was involved in some sort of racing.

Was Carter just joking around and the others taking it waaayyy to serious because of drinking?

It could be minor or could be huge. We just don't know. Doesn't look good. Shouldn't jump to conclusions, but he now has the onus to come clean to NFL teams.

It's a misdemeanor charge, so he needs to make the calculus. Do you risk the punishment of a misdemeanor by letting out info that might get you convicted on a minor charge, or do you clam up?

If he keeps quiet, it looks really bad imo.

 

[Stout]

If Anderson is on the board? No frakking way. Learn the lesson of the trade down that crushed us. Otherwise, it might be a good option, unless we can get a better deal elsewhere.

 

[Stout]

That's a great way of looking at it.

 

[Cardiac]

That's a great way of looking at it.

Or hopeful.

My thoughts exactly Stout. Anderson or a trade down in which we get a second #1.

 

[imaCafan]

Honestly I'd take it. Maybe even get Bijan Robinson at 18.

My thoughts too. If Carter slides, maybe get him at 6? Carter/Robinson would be a haul!

 

[Vacard]

I’ll do it. We need the talent, which many people of the board says.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I don't. I don't think 6 and 18 is enough.

 

[Shane]

Hell yes still a too 7 pick and add 18 but again only if Anderson gone as others have said.

 

[imaCafan]

Yeah seems a given Anderson will be gone...especially with Carter likely out of the mix...

 

[Totally_Red]

If Anderson is gone I'd do it. In fact there may be a higher offer if the #2 QB is still on the board.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

I would for sure take #6 and #18....because #6 SHOULD put us in position for ANOTHER trade down to a team going for a QB like Richardson or Levis.

That 2nd trade is where you stockpile some picks in 24 and 25.

#3 for #6 and #18

Then

#6 for #9 and the Panthers 2024 1st round pick.

#9- Devon Witherspoon
#18 - Carter???

Okay Harry...you been around a while.
You should post rumors...but use the format of the best rumor mill in NFL history... remember "The Way We Hear It"?........ back in the day, Pro Football Weekly was by far the best rumor mill with their TWWHI section...
you should make it the , "The Way I Hear It" threads.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I'd consider the trade down in Anderson is gone because I see a number of nearly equal players after Anderson.

As much as I'm adverse to drafting a corner, Gonzalez would be a good add as well.

 

[Krangodnzr]

If the Cardinals do trade Hopkins and also made this trade, I'd probably look at WR at 18 depending on who is available as well.

The top three guys are significantly better than the next tier, so if you feel you need another receiver, you'd probably want one of Johnston, Addison, and Smith-Njigba.

 

[Chopper0080]

Trading down is 100% the "right" thing to do with the lack of talent on this team and Kyler's contract. The difficult part is that you are passing on a potential All Pro pass rusher and it is one of your biggest positions of need.
