Like I said, it's possible.

I just wouldn't put money on it.

I would.

Every prospect ever is a question mark. 

I have never understood the concept where people think a player has to show traits of being an absolute slam dunk before they even step in the league. How does that even work and how do you know?

You dont.

Trading up in general or trading up to #1?

We are likely one of these teams.

We really sitting back doing a whole lot of nothing so far.

 

 

that’s the spirit

There's absolutely nothing in this year's draft worth giving up next years draft over. If Drake Maye or the qb from S Cal were in the draft then yes. There's not a qb in this class remotely close to those guys.

Colts like Levis enough to jump to 1? Then we trade with the Cards and take Stroud/Young at 3. Problem solved!

Ehhhh I was told that we were super aggressive with looking to move up. There is a reason Vegas has us as the favorite to pick 1. FNZ even mentioned it today how it was the talk of the combine that the Panthers want to move up.

Now is it with Chicago? Meh could be the case. 

I had a thought, only us and Indy need to move up to #1. Chicago isnt going to get a QB in the draft so the only reason Houston moves up is to prevent Indy from securing pick 1. There are so many pieces behind the scene its not even funny.

This is not a trick question...

 

What makes you think the teams with the top 2 picks next year will trade those picks if those QB's are what you think they are?

 

Im willing to bet you we won't be the 2 worst teams in the league next year.

That’s what people can’t grasp. If Williams and Maye are as good as advertised those picks aren’t for sale. We would have to finish last or second to last to draft one of those players and with this staff, that’s not happening.

The Seahawks are set up to take a QB at 5 if a guy falls, or go D if the guys are already gone.

Yeah, I don't see them moving up to grab a QB but sit back and see if one falls.

Dont know where to put this, but is this legit? Not surprised by it though

They won’t take a QB. A blue chip non QB will fall to them (edge rusher). Pete loves some defense.

Even though he's been a MVP I believe he still falls under the "retread" label and Reich/Tepper are sick of QBs not their Own.
