I think someone will. QB is obviously the most important position on any team and whike that have busted some balls on Garrapolo succeeding Brady I think a good number of teams have assessed their QB situation and the QB's available in this draft and realize Garrapolo gives them a much better chance to win now, and in the NFL nothing matters more than that. I'm not greedy though, I would settle for the Browns 1st overall in return for JG.
Somehow, my toning down the overexuberance people are having regarding JG has turned into me seeming to be beating him up, which is not what I am doing.
If it were a no brainer to trade the #1 overall pick for a player who was a late 2nd and has not played much for 3 years, then why wouldn't we see #1 picks traded for players all the time?
I think it would be tremendous if JG could be under contract as Brady's back up until Brady is ready to retire, and then be the replacement, but its just not feasible.
Brady is playing at least 3 more years, barring something unforeseen. We know he isn't going to be cut this year after winning the SB.
We can be pretty sure he won't be cut next year, one year removed from winning the SB, and most likely playing like one of the few best QBs in the league.
So how do you keep a guy around who wants a chance to play? You really can't.
If you could get a similar trade value next year as you could get this year, then it would be a great idea to hang on to him.
But you won't get much of anything next year, because the only way to trade him is to tag him, which they may or may not have the cap space to do, and if they do, what team would trade a boatload for a guy they know we would have to cut if we don't trade.
I admire the creative thinking, but it just isn't possible. So you have to trade him while his value is highest.
Just like you can't be in 2 places at one time, you can't keep both of these QBs, and there simply is no decision about which one you keep.
