I'll be at the front of the picket lines to fire Quinn if he makes that move. I'll make the 10 hour drive just to do that. My view of Quinn is misconstrued as being positive. My feeling is that it is an incomplete grade at the moment. There isn't enough of a body of work where he has been the driving force, in my opinion, to establish his grade as a GM.

Makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the first to admit that I'm probably the farthest thing from a draft scout as exists. I'll also point out that there's a lot that happens behind the scenes that we as fans don't have access to, including draft interviews, workouts, research, etc. There are absolutely reasonable scenarios where Young is there at #3 and the Lions don't draft him. It all depends on the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Giants will take Young or some team will trade up with them to take him at #4. There just aren't too many situations where it would make sense for us to pass up on him.

(This scenario begins with the assumption that Burrow and Tua are drafted #1 and #2, in some order. It is completely random.) The Lions sign Ngakoue or Beasley in FA. The Raiders trade Maurice Hurst, 1.12, 1.19, two 3rd round picks and a future 1st round pick for 1.3 (Young). I'd absolutely take that. (And I'm not saying that the Raiders would even consider it.) There are plenty of packages that I feel could drastically improve this roster over just Young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Bosa's salary cap hit is $6M. Spotrac has Ngaokue at $17M/year. That $11M/year difference could easily be a couple other guys without a loss in production.

Yeah, if cap is the concern, grab Beasley instead, or another edge rusher, or draft one 1.12 or 1.19. Plenty of options. My point is that there are definitely scenarios where compensation could cause me to trade down from Young. Three 1st round picks, two 3rds and a young player would be one of those.

CWood21 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Karnage84 said: The Redskins could feel they have far too many needs and can use the bounty of picks to make themselves a really good team. Maybe they're happy with Montez Sweat. Just spitballing ideals. The last time we saw a team trade into the top 5 that wasn't moving up to select a QB was in 2014 when the Bills traded up for Sammy Watkins. Teams don't pass up the opportunity to draft the BPA unless they're receiving a mountain of picks in return. The 49ers took Nick Bosa in 2019, the Giants took Saquon Barkley in 2018, the Browns took Myles Garrett in 2017, and the Chargers took Joey Bosa in 2016. Teams aren't going to pass up on BPA because they get a "decent" package. It's going to take a hell of a package for the Redskins to move down from 2.

I understand where you are coming from. I'm in the same place. We are really one year into a rebuild, or so I believe. Year one of Patricia you had a full on mutiny. Those players had to be removed. Year two not as bad, but it sounds like more of the same. However, I'm kind of with TL on chase young. There are a million scenarios where it could make sense. I was just wondering if there would be anything where the two of you are like "nope, I'm done." and I was wondering if chase young would be one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young at #3 just makes too much sense to not be the pick. Beasley is older and doesn't offer the same level of production/impact, Ngaokue is older and is going to be much more expensive, etc. To each their own but it's going to be near impossible for someone to convince me that not taking Young if he's there at #3 makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stafford injury during year two can't be understated. We're in a great position for the future, which is why year three intrigues me.

If Young is there at #3 and Bob Quinn passes over him... I dunno.. that might just be it. If he decides to not trade up to #2 and Young goes to Washington.. well... it is what it is. Maybe the compensation was too high to move one spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely fair. For me, it's hard to pass up three 1st round picks (with additional picks and a player), especially with next year's QB class and Stafford's age/back concerns.
