Did you even read the original post? That's a rhetorical question as you clearly didn't. It wasn't simply #4 for Metcalf. And it was a hypothetical trade that I wanted to know what Pape thought. Go back and read the original premise.
I don't give up 4 for a position player. Period.
So, that's a no to your having not having read the original premise. Isn't every player a positional player?
4 is Hunter, Carter or trade down.
QBs are widely considered their own position grouping. "position players" refer to everyone else. Top of R1 trade gets you a franchise QB, not a good but widely overrated WR, and one who said he doesn't want to be here. So he's a rental and maybe a malcontent. He's already trying to shoot his way out of his current situation, but he's going to come here and be a good soldier? Doubt it.
Oh **** Hunter and or Carter... Stupid ass Draft Selections... We Need OL... So Lets get an edge and/or a WR who should probably play CBinstead!!! ← Sarcasm ... JFC people don't think...
This is being discussed elsewhere, but what do you do when you don't have a package for #4, and everyone says there's no starting LT. Do you take Campbell anyway? RT Membou? Reach for Banks at #4?
Best case scenario: They get Stanley and hope he can give 2 to 3 solid and healthy years at LT, giving them time to obtain his replacement (perhaps an Ozzy Trapilo is ready in 2 to 3 years to step-in). Although the way this FA period looks to be shaping up, I'm not so sure we'll get him, regardless of how much money we can pay him.
Until you take one that isn't. That's the problem.
Josh Simmons... Bring that Buckeye home to New England.
I’m hearing rumors it’s the Packers as well.
Let's see how his pro day goes and go from there.
I saw that too Ian. He wouldn't be the first player that ever had reservations about coming here. I can't imagine Seattle has fantastic weather and night life either! I'm confident Vrabel could paint a picture for him here.
After the State of the union I think dudes are going to be lining up: they have to feed their families.
What do you think of Ozzy Trapilo in or after Round 4 or 5 as a developmental prospect? I only ask because I've noticed over the last few years that many of the desirable LT's that usually get resigned and we usually want, were either drafted anywhere from the 4th Round to UDFA. He's also listed as a LT/RT. Especially if we get Stanley, he could be his replacement in a couple of years or maybe our RT.
I heard he was working with Scar.
You heard correctly!
