Quote:Would you take the deal if it's the only offer? Also didn't ATL trade up from like 26 or something? Would a good deal be both their firsts this year and their first next year?

Would I take a drop from 3 to 12, a third this year, and 1st next year? Absolutely not. Id rather take the top 3 player.


I doubt it would be the only offer, but that's such a low-ball offer its borderline ridiculous.A QB is the #1 most important position in football BY FAR. No way in hell I'd give a team they thought was going to be their franchise QB for the next 10-15 years without making them pay HEAVILY for it. I dont care what people THINK the Brown's record will be next year, to only get an extra 1st and a third would be complete garbage.


Julio Jones was obtained from trading two 1sts, a 2nd, and a fourth. That was for a WIDE RECEIVER. No way in hell I would take a lower deal than that for the most important position in football.


If Mariota turns out to be an elite QB, who do you think the losers of that trade would be? Regardless of the player we pick with next years 1st from Cleveland, we would of been smoked in THAT TRADE.


We would look like idiots. 3 first rounders, 2 and some other mid round picks at the very least.
