"Protecting Joe Burrow" ... LOL. That is the funniest thing I've read all day.

Multiple reports all saying the same thing: Snyder and his wife have cleaned out their offices.

OP, just say you are a major Foreman Fan and be done with this thread.

To a group that has someone as a minority Hawks owner? Weird.

Wow. It's like a totally different franchise.

I mean ... play with Mahomes or play with most likely Andy Dalton until the rook is ready. No brainer.

We are not trading down unless we get back what we gave up ... plus new picks. It makes ZERO sense to do it otherwise. We need to recoup the first we've already lost PLUS get an elite WR back before we even begin to open the trade goody bag to see what we get for the future. I keep explaining this but some still don't seem to grasp it. The only way we'd "win" in the end is if someone gave us two firsts ... and that ain't happening. I feel most teams view Stroud/Young/Levis pretty even, so they're not going to do something dumb to get one when they could get one without doing anything at all.

Just save all of us the time with this thread and say you want AR, OP.

Well you're not trolling in this thread so there's no need.

If they both get there, sure. Hell, Arizona could take Alabama out. But yes, if it's Purdue/Bama I'll bet with ya.

Purdue is going to beat them in the Final Four.

Because we've lost a star WR and next year's first. We have to recoup that PLUS get something great in the deal to trade the pick. You don't trade to the top spot, only to get less in return to trade down.

What skills does he have? That he's fast for a QB? Can jump high for a QB? Jump far for a QB? That's it. That's why people drool over him. He has nothing else special that other QBs don't. I find it very odd that people think this kid will be able to out run, out jump, and out leap bonafide elite NFL defenses and treat them like play things. Cam could barely do it, Hurts can do it at times, Lamar can do it at times ... but all three of those men are lightyears better than AR is. And all three could do things in college that AR can't. Hoping ... yes hoping our staff can mold him into them is the ultimate gamble. And the OSU WR thing ... lol. Stroud will be throwing to WRs in the NFL that were good in college. No need to worry about that. This. No, no you can't. Talented at a handful of combine drills? Ok. Talented for a college QB? No.

But it order for what you said to happen ... we have to get a WR as good as Moore and a 1st rd pick before we even begin to celebrate over the haul we'd get trading down. I said it in another thread, trading down makes zero sense. We'd need to get BACK a first AND get an elite WR as part of the deal ... which as some of you are thinking, would include "additional picks". No team is going to give us a WR, and more than one first, just to get in the top slot. One more time: In order for this dream scenario to work, we'd need to swap firsts with someone (but still be able to get a QB), get a first in 2024 (to cover the one we lost), a first in 2025 (to "gain" something), possibly more picks ... oh, and a stud WR ... JUST to make everything worth it. We're picking first.

Is OP arguing for Young or against Richardson?

As mentioned, trading back makes no sense. Not only do you need to get a WR as good as DJ back, but you also have to replace the First you traded away ... before you even begin to look at what you "get" in the trade. No one is going to give us a star WR, and three Firsts (to which we "get" two Firsts in the deal). I'm rambling, but we have to recoup what we gave away before we even look at what we can "get" for trading down.

If Levis ... I laugh and laugh at this stupid franchise but hope the kid is decent as some claim he already is. If Richardson ... I'm done. If a non-QB ... I laugh at this stupid franchise and wonder what they have up their sleeve.

Didn't make it past the OP. Stop with the inferiority complex.

Stroud and Young will both need a vet able to catch whatever they throw his way. Even if it's just seven yards. Thielen could really help both kids.

We should look at DJ Chark, Jakobi Meyers, and Darius Slayton.

I don't see Houston doing anything. I think they'll be fine with either Stroud or Young. The Colts would be the one to look at ... but all they'd need to do is trade with Arizona to get Levis. Now ... if Atlanta, Tampa, or Vegas wanted #1 that's a different story ... but one we wouldn't do. We're picking first.

It would be funny if whoever we draft for a QB becomes an elite legend, and we can trace it all back to DJ and his helmet. It'd be a legendary Panthers story for decades! We could have a statue of it out front lol. Or, if we want to credit the ref, a statue of a yellow flag.
