If tanking is really the goal...

An option that hasn't been considered, if we are truly not concerned about 2020 and want to land Lawrence next year then qb is off the table. We have discussed moving up for Burrow, but what about hitting up the ole ball coach in an attempt to snag Young? It has been report that Washington loves Tua or are at least is considering him. 

That said they probably trying to drum up trade interest but if they are serious I would at least hear them out and consider the price point. Even after that if they do draft Tua or someone else trades up for him I hit up Detroit and see what their asking price is. Chase Young is being far under sold in this draft. And with addison likely walking we dont have a prove 4-3  edge rusher.

Young is probably a more athletic version of the Bosa's before him and after a year or two would probably among the best pass rushers in the NFC. Grabbing him would give us a dominate force for years to come but wouldn't be enough to stop the tank from sinking completely. If the goal is Lawrence for next season it should be quality not quantity we are after this season. 

You dont want get to good to soon, but having a gem of this caliber would be beneficial in the long run... question is what would it cause to get to 2 or 3?

You don't trade up to #2 to take a DE. Only QB's are worth that type of value. No thanks on that.

It's been done for a position of less value. Running backs no less. If The 49ers went from picking second to the super bowl largely on defense off the bosa rookie of the year impact, and made a pro bowl why should you not? It's already known to be the second most important position in football so I dont see your logic. Oh I see you rather trade up for a QB already on injury life support... nevermind.

not sure if serious

https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp  Big difference between 7 and 8. according to the draft table  their pick is worth 2600 ours 1500. one and 2 gets you to 2000 alone. any assortment of next years 2 or some 3rd rounders could easily make up the difference from there. I didnt say it would be cheap. but surely worth a discussion. Yes it would be costly, But what is a top 5 rusher worth for the next 9 or so years? surely worth what we have been getting out of the second and 3rd round.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
