.@AdamSchefter says discussions for Jimmy G in a trade start at a 1st & 4th round draft pick (the Sam Bradford return)
well yeah it's sales 101 brah...never start low.
You think they'd started out with a 2nd for Jones and a 3rd comp for Collins? All the teams in real need for a QB are top 15 picks and no one is giving that up, especially after what happened with the Bradford trade.
If Cleveland likes Garoppolo and are in a bidding war with SF & Chicago. They can give the 2nd 1st round pick and still get either Allen or Garrett.
That's almost twice as much as what the Vikings gave up for Bradford and they were desperate for a QB with what they felt was a closing championship window. Bradford had 2 years remaining on his deal (for $24 million total with no guaranteed money after the Eagles paid $11 million of his contract as part of the trade) and was far more proven than Garapollo, with one of the highest passer ratings in the league over the 2nd half of 2015 even though he didn't have a particularly strong supporting cast in Philidelphia.
There isn't going to be a bidding war among bad teams for Garapollo. I don't think the Browns, 49ers, or Bears will be interested in him at all. It would take another Teddy Bridgewater situation on a winning team for the Patriots to get a 1st round pick for Jimmy and it would be a late first round pick at best.
