I'm not betting the ranch on it, but it's possible Tyquan emerges this year.

It would have been a 5th rounder

stretching it all out for TV ad $$

trade down 10 spots, get a high 4th, then move up from 68 to about 48-50 by giving up both high 4th's. Draft at about 42 and 50.

The benefits of cratering at 4-13 are not only that you get the 3rd pick, and you also are granted time to rebuild. Nobody expects this team to come close to making the playoffs this year, so they were free to take a 21 year old who has huge upside but needs a year of bench time.

Cousins has more career earnings than probably anyone in history and has never shown loyalty to any team. It's always just about the dollars to him, so he has nothing to be mad about. If I were an Atlanta fan, though, I'd be pissed that the management doesn't know what the hell they're doing...

yes they do. They had two and traded one away.

If we're judging the OL and QB as of today, prior to the draft, then: - QB play will be improved. Brissett handles pressure better and doesn't turn the ball over, so those things alone = better. The offensive coaching staff will be a lot better, resulting in better QB play. Our WR's are better...

This thread is why we need to manufacture draft capital from our #3 pick, so that we're picking 3 times in the top 40 - e.g.: - if we deal with Minnesota, we're picking at 11, 23, 34, 68 (and possibly use the 68 to trade back up from 11 to 7 or 8) - or a smaller trade-down to 6 for the Giants...

I got here by trading from 3 to 4 and from 4 to 5, with the assumption that Daniels went at 2 and I kept trading down by 1 slot till only one of Maye and McCarthy were left, taking small comp as I went. Got good quality for each of the 7 picks.

My favorite deal remains trading down 1 spot with AZ for minor compensation - eg swap 34 for their 27, plus their 4th rounder. Get something for little to no risk. Incent AZ by making them think that the Chargers want to trade up to 3.

if we trade down to 11, I think Denver at 12 will not trade up after the Zack Wilson acquisition and with Stidham also on the roster. The Raiders at 13 are a threat to jump above 11 though. So if you assume worst case is that Chicago, Washington, Minnesota, and the Giants all take QB's at 1, 2...

Older is better, nothing wrong with a lefty, and hasn't been injured in years.

Good trade for Denver, for a late round pick swap. Wilson's problems are mental/psychological. This gets him back home/out west where he'll be more comfortable and close to family. He was probably a Broncos fan growing up. Plus will work for an offensive coach who may be able to turn him around...

I agree with Ted Johnson who said yesterday that his home run scenario is to trade back, get some high draft choices, and take Penix as our QB, who he feels is as good as any of these guys.
