Yet Another Trade Down Scenario


Argus Plexus

Recommended Posts

So Charles Davis and the talking heads at NFL.com seem to think Trent Richardson could fall to #9. I know, this is already in another thread but bear with me. IF Richardson fell to #9, I seriously believe the Panthers almost have no real choice but to trade down. That is far too much of a value player to pass up, and we don't have any room for him. What about teams that are hungry for a real impact RB? I could easily see a team like New England or Cleveland with one of their multiple 1st rounders, or the Giants all the way at the bottom of the 1st round wanting to trade up to #9 to pick up Richardson. Cleveland is obviously in need of a RB after shedding Hillis, the Giants might want to make a move to pick up Richardson after shedding Brandon Jacobs, and New England could use an upgrade from Green-Ellis and Richardson would not only upgrade their run game but their pass game as well. All three of these teams have the means and (usually) ambition to make a bold move like this.

If I were Hurney, I would sell Richardson to one of them in exchange for their 1st this Draft, seeing that they would be a low pick anyways, along with their first the following year. I would take no less than that and if any of those teams had real interest, they would likely take that price for an impact player like Richardson.

Thoughts? If he fell, do you think this would be the best course of action?

If we could get the Browns #21 this year and the Browns 1st round pick next year I would go apeshit with joy. Their pick next year will most likely be another top 10 pick so that value would end up amazing. And down at #21 we could probably still get a guy we really like, Brockers, Ingram, Coples, Jones could all possibly slip that far. Kirkpatrick, Jenkins, Worthy, Barron would also be solid picks in that range.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
