Trade for Hopkins and we no longer than have that second pick.

we might be able to get him for a third and maybe a day 2 pick next year. 

would be worth it even for a 2nd this year. i would not be upset at all.

if we can pull off DHop and Chark i'd be ecstatic.

We aren't going to win the Superbowl this year. No need to get too anxious about stacking the roster.

I think this totally depends on who you’re targeting. If you’re targeting a polished day 1 starter (Young) then imo you make the move for Hop. Otherwise with any of these other QBs I think you keep the draft capital. 
 

Andrew Luck’s first year he went 11-5 and threw for 4300 yards, 25TDs. If we have a lineup of Hop, Marshall, Hurst, Sanders then I think 4500 yards, 30-35 TDs is totally doable in the Reich system for Young or Stroud. They’re going all out this season and I’m loving it.

This draft is full of slot Wr.. So if you sign a X or Z Wr.. You can get a slot in the draft.. 

2nd (hoping) Zay but more likely Josh Down, Tank Dell, Rice, and Scott

Later

Charlie, Reed, or Jarret

Aquiring a 20 million base salary in Hopkins seems unlikely. But who knows

Plus he older and probably looking to go to a contender.. We are not that..

But Hopkins is a proven pros pro that is still all pro level. 2nd round pics at WR have never worked for us. I’d trade a 2nd for Nuke right fuging now.

A pro that is old and looking for a title not a rebuild..

There are a bunch of slot receivers in the second round, but no real #1 WRs worthy of that pick. We need to either trade back up into the 1st round for a #1, or trade for a WR from some other team, or get a FA. One of these things is going to happen imo. The again, Fitt just foolishly restructured Jackson so he might do something else stupid with the WR situation.

That’s why I don’t want us to ignore the TE prospects for the second tier of WRs in a class where the top tier is well below recent years. Cheaper FA WRs could be better placeholders to maybe use our 2024 2nd or 2025 1st on a better, true WR1.

Dear lord, those stats are like the ridiculous numbers the Teddy fan boys put up there.

Luck put up great stats with Wayne, Hilton and Allen/Fleener at TE. We don’t have that or even close to that and you think Young/Stroud as rookies will better that?

I feel like this fan base is setting themselves up for a lot of disappointment this year expecting us to be real contenders year 1 of a rookie QB and a new staff.

How much cap space do we have now?

Bring that man Hopkins home where he belongs.

Sir this division is winnable.

 

The NFC is weak only the Eagles are a legit threat. 49ers good but they have a question mark at QB. We can absolutely be a contender in the NFC with Hopkins.

 

Our defense is young and getting better every year. Oline is legit. We just added a top 7 rb talent. The only major questions left is WR.

With vets and big contracts, they usually don't go for what you envision in your mind. I do not see the Cards netting a 2 for Hop. I really think we could get him for a 3.
