Would you pull a Jared Goff type trade for Zach Wilson/Justin Fields at #3?

The rams moved from #15, to #1 overall by giving up:


  • Picks No. 15, 43, 45, 76 in the 2016 draft
  • Picks No. 5, 100 in the 2017 draft

Now, obviously, moving from 20 to #3 would cost less. Lets say a second rounder less.

So it would be.....Our first rounder, 2nd, and 3rd rounder this year. Our first rounder and 3rd rounder next year.

Would you do it?

Possibly for Fields cuz he's faced better competition

I do agree, watson is obviously the much safer commodity, and already a top NFL QB.

Was just a thread I thought about for shits and giggles since I watched goff play.

The difference is cap hit.

Wilson/Fields would cost you 8-9m a year. While watson would cost you 4-5x that.
Yeah truth. Future yes.. for sure.

Yes, but I really do think Wilson Fields and Lawrence will be gone by #4 but maybe #3.

Yes. In a heartbeat. If Champ Kelly gets hired as a GM, that nets the Bears a 3rd this year and next, yes? That would mean the trade would cost this years 2nd and next years 1st. I would roll the dice on that all day.

I would feel more confident in a new gm making bold moves like that. I don’t want dead men walking making trades like that. If pace makes that move then there is a house cleaning the following year then you are a. Limiting new gm with picks b. New gm might not like the qb pick c. New hc not interested in qb that you sold the farm for.

Lawrence, Fields and Wilson will be gone by pick 4, only Sewell will interrupt the quick run on QB's.
