Why do this now? You have no clue what's gona happen ahead of you in the draft at this point or if the guy you want is still gona be there.

I could only stomach this if it was for Watson pre-assault charges.

We know what Jags are doing.
And I'd bet $ ShanaLynch have inside intel from Saleh about Jets plans.

One way or another, this means they are 100% confident there will be a QB they want at 3.
WOW!! OMG ITS HAPPENING.

Hey any chance there's a super stud athlete that we'll be looking for it number 3? Either offensive tackle Edge defensive tackle or elsewhere

Only Mike Ditka would make a crazy trade for a non-QB.

They won't have a first round pick again for some time. Scouts really gonna have to earn their money the next couple of years.

THey are going to have a lot more money to spend on free agency talent though. Having a rookie QB on contract and Not having to pay a QB 25+ mil a season.
All that for Kyle Pitts?

Is it stupid to think it's for a pass rusher opposite Bosa at #3...

There's no pass rusher worth a top 10 selection in this draft class. No defensive player worth a top 5 selection. You don't give up that much draft real estate to move up for any other position but quarterback.

Right on PHX , so QB it is. It is the "rest of the story " that is interesting. Because no way they do that and keep JG.

One thing I HOPE didn't happen is that Kyle said to both JL and Peters, don't fight me on this, I am going to have one of two QBs. Period. That just brings back bad memories of a RB he HAD to have, Jet, Pettis, CJ, Mullie, and the fascination with Cuzins.

Please tell me this isn't a "Kyle has to have" scenario, because we have gotten burned on every one of the above. I pray this was a vote and it was unanimous. Got no idea if it was or not. It could have gone 2-1, also.

the. Real question is what happens to the other part of this equation... JG and the PATs? It almost has to be that way. Lawrence is a day one starter, no question. Could JL be looking at JG for a PATs EDGE + a 1st in 2022 or 2023 (if BB even has one?).

There's more coming out ...absolutely for sure.

Why not keep Jimmy? Hes cheap and we have a roster that can win this year? If he balls out, we win. If he doesn't or gets hurt. The rookie goes in. I dont see why thats bad?

Lol that was my first thought too
What??? That was quick....

You don't make this trade unless you're taking a QB.

Yep. Feilds or Wilson or Trey Lance.

Guys, do you honestly believe we just re-signed all these vets to win now, and were just going to dump Jimmy and draft a rookie? Common sense. Jimmy is the QB this year.

I absolutely believe that is completely on the table. Playing high end rookies isn't nearly as daunting as it used to be, Jimmy is just average and if there is one thing that is absolutely certain, drafting a kid 3 over all and keeping your starter will split the locker room as easy as anything.

this is a tight group. they will not split over a QB. not a chance. leaders like Kittle, trent and fred wont allow that nonsense.

49ers made some dominoes start falling. Miami might still get the guy that is top on their draft board after picking up an extra first rounder. Pitts would look great in their offense.
