Ya who would want a proven DE to make a SB run. It's crazy. Just wait till the draft and draft a proven super star. Rookies are known for being their best out of the gate. It won't take 2 or 3 years to grow the guy and all draft picks work out so just wait till your window closes.
They need massive amounts of offensive and defensive line help. They need depth at both position groups and you want to trade the future ability to build and grow around the QB for one guy who you could lose for the year on an injury and then be right back to where we are.
Josh Hines Allen isn’t an “above average” pass rusher?
LOLOL They don't need massive help on either. Both are top 10. We have depth. We need big players that can step up in big moments in big games against top teams. Our future is now, our future is on the team already. Losing 2 future draft picks will not change much if anything. Getting the top Dline in football the next 5+ years will change our future for sure.
- A butthurt Mitch Trubisky fanboy who hated Fields because he replaced Captain Earmuffs lololololol
Guy who followed me around since week 4 of Fields rookie year now claims im following him around because i respond to one post every two weeks lmao. Says im making up lies and then what does he do? Lies in the very next sentence.
Bingo!
The best teams build through the draft. Constantly trading draft Capitol away for players that have already played their best football is not smart. That’s why pace failed so miserably (trading extra draft Capital for Mack and Trubisky). I would do a 1 for 1 trade, but once you start talking multiple day 1 or 2 picks you lose me. I understand another defensive stud would look good on this defense, but if you’re drafting well, like Poles has been in the first 3 rounds, then it’s a waste. Those draft picks could be used to fill 2 holes next year. It’s not like we are one piece away from a Super Bowl either. Our window isn’t even open yet, IMO.
Just another great take from Daniel. Hines-Allen only had 17.5sacks last year! What a fucking bum!
Disagree. You have to draft and get the right FA's. It's a combo to win it all. Build thru the draft and top off with FA. Don't just go nut's in FA but a few are always needed to be a SB contender. If were talking Crosby then you know we will get years of prime play on a team that wants to win sooner rather then later. Your thinking is not wrong but in the real world time is a major factor. Can't draft and develop every player. Timing is everything.
Nah, a good franchise plays the long game. FAs and trades are expensive short term badaids. Expensive trades and FAs are fools gold when there’s a cap.
Do you have any examples? Which good franchises don't have FA's? I'm trying to think of who you are referring to.
Agreed, a LT or DE/DT for this team in FA/trade will go a long way, why I don’t mind a DE trade is because walker and billings probably won’t last more than 1 more year after this season. tackles in this years draft don’t look very promising either. Trading our first and 2nd round pick (not Carolina’s) for a Myles Garrett or Crosby would be fantastic. Draft DT/OG/WR possible safety too. sign a Center in FA like the one from the falcons perhaps. We have the money next season for two splash FAs and resigns etc.
By my calculations, that's only a... 5/17ths ratio above one per game.
