Him or Latu seem to be the most obvious. I do wonder if we add another first rounder by trading Lattimore or use him and our 14th pick to move up.
Agree but Latu had to medically retire earlier in his career because of a neck injury. Medicals on him will be super important.

We can’t trade him until after June 1 because we would need to spread the cap hit over 2 seasons.

If we picking him, means Fosky was a total bust, and our draft was garbage.

That’s the pick we traded 5 firsts for to get Davenport.

Yes and I doubt we get a 1st for him.

Jalen Ramsey went for a 3rd. That puts Latt's value around a 5th

No one is giving us a first rounder for lattimore lol. We’ll probably get a mid round pick at best.

I mean…Underhill seemed to suggest they’d get decent value for him and that included a first or second round pick. But dude is a homer so who knows

It’s a moot point though. If you can’t trade him before the draft, just keep him.

Ehh Chauncey went for a 5th and +1 round to the sixth. I wouldn’t want to part with him for anything less than a 1. And was Ramsey a fire sale? Any other comparable CB trades?

We don’t know for sure he’s a macontent yet so hard to say what we need to do

Also the only reason he won’t be a top 10 pick. He’s easily better than Verse and Turner but his knock will be the medicals

Likely won’t be there at 14. And if you’re going to trade up, you take a QB.

The Rams had less incentive to trade him than we do Latt

Good CBs are rarely traded

Slay went for a 3rd in 2020

Tough. We'd "like" a QB, but Carr is probably here at least another year. We need OL depth/tackle, and maybe a safety as honey badger ain't immortal. Neither is Kamara, though I'd like to think we get good production for another couple years.

Our receivers came along, but I don't think we have much depth? Perry, Olave, Juwan, and MT doesn't exist.

We're about to restructure him which will put him here another 3 years, min, most likely.

People say shite like this every year. He’s projected anywhere from 12-25.

I’d like to think they won’t. It’s one of the worst FA classes in recent memory. So I don’t think they’ll move Carr’s money unless something comes together out of nowhere

This isn't true.


They had an unstable cap coming off the superbowl. He also had a huge cap hit.
