I'm 100% sure the Texans told us who they would take (Fuller). I even remember Scott McCloughan saying that after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a single instance of a team agreeing not to select a player in a trade down scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said: "That's not how the NFL works. You either get the guy you want or you get the extra assets. Which is worth more to you?" I gave a specific example of that being false. Either way, this argument is going nowhere so it's best we end it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this argument is going nowhere so it's best we end it. It's not moving the goalposts. My argument has been the same since the beginning. First, the Redskins aren't getting a mid-SRP worth of value out of Ryan Kerrigan. I've made that opinion very clear. I don't see any team feeling the need to give up that kind of value for a guy who is on the wrong side of 30 and only has 1 year left on his contract. Secondly, I've already said that I don't think there's ever been a trade in which a contingency was put in place to not select a player. You mentioned that the Texans "told" the Redskins who they were selecting. And as I asked you before, if the Lions told the Redskins they were selecting Chase Young, would you still say yes to the deal? And you emphatically said no. So why would the Lions even consider making that stipulation part of the trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even remember Scott McCloughan saying that after the draft. HTTR, I think the issue at hand is a team communicating "we want player X" and taking that as gospel or an agreement that they won't take another player. It all depends on the relationship between the managers and how transparent you're willing to be in your draft plans. We all know that the league works on smokescreens, back room deals, etc. So if Quinn calls up Washington and says we want a chance at Burrow (assuming that Joe Burrow has dug in his heels that he won't play for Cincy), they trade up, Cincy calls his bluff and Young is now sitting there at #2.. it's possible that they'd take (Young) there at #2 even though they made the deal for a different player. Washington would have made the deal and taking the risk of potentially losing out on their guy. It's the same reason that some teams will trade up to guarantee they'll get their guy rather than leave things to chance. Perfect example was the Mitch Trubisky trade.

LionArkie Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) What if we promised to not take Young, if you promise not to take who we want next year. So a first round promise for a promise to be named later? I joke, I joke... all in fun. Edited February 10, 2020 by LionArkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 If Tua's health issues are a problem, we'll know about it before the draft. As of right now I'm assuming he will be fine until I hear otherwise. If Kerrigan is such an impact player, why are you hyping him up to trade him so badly? He's a good player who is going to be 32, not an age for a DE where you trade for them to make them a big piece of your team for the future. Also there's no need on Earth for the Lions to trade up from 3 to 2, just to reiterate that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on this: 1. Snyder would never allow this to happen. 2. There is a strong belief in Haskins within the organization after the way he finished the season last year. 3. A big part of Rivera's interview involved selling Snyder on his plan to develop Haskins. 4. We have a defensive-minded HC who reportedly loves Chase Young. 5. Snyder would never allow this to happen.

Even if Tua is back at 100% and is the guy they expect him to be? I have to imagine Haskins would generate at least a 1st round pick in a trade.

I guess that can be lumped in with "Snyder would never allow this to happen". Anyway, if Haskins was as terrible as Rosen was last year, it would be an interesting debate. He wasn't though.

Oh I get that. Which is why Haskins would net more than a 2nd like Rosen did. It's just a matter of a healthy Tua being that much better than Haskins and being able to add pieces around him with the 1st + you'd get for Haskins.
