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.

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.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • 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
