It hasn't worked in the past and it won't work in the future. We tried speculation with Trey Lance and gave up a ton of picks. We did the same thing when we brought in O.J. Simpson and Jim Plunkett and others. Let's keep our draft picks and stop playing the devils advocate. Watt and Garrett surely would upgrade our defense, but to give up maybe 2 starters and numerous high draft picks I'm complertely against.

yes but it was like an 80s action movie. mercenaries on a mission, to win. hardly needed to pay em they would almost play for free, in that era. or maybe this is just pre inflation.

He'll yeah let's do it,there are hidden gems WRs in the later rounds also one could argue that this draft is loaded with edge rushers and D Linemen too...but if you wanna beat the 18 MEN - CHEATS you need those bookends

Why not throw in other trade mentions like the CMC trade or Trent Williams trade.

Agreed, no way we should even consider trading our star players for anyone TBH unless it was Mahomes, but anyway Deebo can't be traded pre June 1 without the team losing a s**t ton of cap room, like $31M.

Comparing Myles Garrett to Trey Lance is like comparing a Ferrari to a 97 Nissan Altima found abandoned at a dumpster.
if there's an opportunity to trade for him, do it! As long as blue chip players like Bosa or Warner are not involved

Myles Garrett is Myles Garrett but #11 overall could be anything… it could even be a player as good as Myles Garrett!
