    Even a 3 year old should know it doesn't matter which snack you get, you're happy. DON'T MAKE THE TRADE!

    Scrolling through Twitter I’m still trying to wrap my head around why Carolina fans think we’re giving up 2 and 12 to move up to 1 :confused:

    I wouldn’t trade them a 2 with the number 2 overall. 1st and two 3rds is best I would offer.

    Even still, I wouldn’t trade up at all. Carolina played it’s cards too early

    Rams are tanking for Caleb Williams. It is OBVIOUS. This is why you don't count on QBs in the next draft.

    I'll be so disappointed if Nick falls for this.

    I mean it's obvious. Panthers figured out the #1 QB on our board is different than theirs, could be even more than that, this QB could be 4th on their board and they are trying to scare us into giving up anything to draf this player.

    The problem is...we have to know they are not trading down. They aren't trading down to 3 because Cardinals are not trading up and they are not trading down to 4 because there is a chance they don't get their guy at 4.

    No way they trade past that, they didn't trade up to get a QB only to trade down and be left with Hooker or McKee, because they could have had those guys with their initial pick.

    So yeah, I'd be so disappointed if Nick falls for this. I'd do it for a future 6th rounder, that's about it.

    Or they Marlin'd their superbowl trophy and now everything has to go back on a fire sale. I don't think it's tanking tanking. If they don't recoup some picks and clear salary, their future will be even more shaky. What else they got in their roster?

    You do if you think you're only going to win 6 games at most and after trading down have three 2024 1st rd picks. Why do you do this? Because you like 3 QB's, maybe 4 better than any QB that you like in this class.

    I get that you like this QB class, some posters dont feel the way you do about this QB class. You're probably going to get what you want, I can see Stroud going 1st and Young being the pick for the Texans. Why? Gotta put butts back in the seats. SMH, history is repeating itself. Be careful of what you wish for.

    Do a draft day trade. Pick Stroud. See who the Cards pick and if they dont trade the pick and they want Levis trade Stroud to the Colts for a package and pick Levis.

    Actually, the last QB the Texans drafted in the first round turned out to be pretty good. I could take that history repeating itself.

    NOBODY wants Levis over Stroud or Young. Hell AR-15 has moved ahead of him.

    False. There are pundits with Levis over all of them and specially Stroud and AR

    Nah, the Texans don't need to play games with this position. If they have their guy at #2 they need to just keep him.

    Pundits...not teams. LOL. Levis was a ghost at the combine. Meaning, no one was talking about him. AR-15 and Stroud were the talk of the combine (and Bryce's measurables).

    I don't want any of the QBs. Go best player available.... Will Anderson


    I'm not interested in returning to the glory days of Kubiak and Bill O'Brien where you make the playoffs and then embarrass yourself on Wild Card weekend or if you have a "good season" you get bounced in the Divisional Round. You need someone to go toe to toe with Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Hurts, etc... Not seeing it in this draft.

    We can easily out tank the Rams... just run Davis Mills out there 17 more times and rest the good players the last week of the season this time.

    I 100% expect the Texans to NOT do this and pick one of these QBs. Cal has to fill the stadium up for his next jet and yacht purchase. Welcome to the never ending rebuild... we should know it well because the Rockets seem to be there as well.

    No. You don’t. You’ve proven to be quite ignorant in most takes. In fact, I don’t think you’ve ever been right about anything

    I was talking about the Panthers doing a draft day trade.
