I swear, you young whipper-snappers astound me.. always the HIGH DRAFT picks trump ALL. Get rid of EVERY good player and stockpile draft picks... if there exists a more losing strategy I couldn't begin to speculate what it could be.
it's gotten to the point that a #1 draft pick equates to SB Victory. Say HUH?
Ok, sorry... but geez. - JamesJM
I don't think anyone WANTS to trade Kupp. But there have been suggestions that, since it's possible we may not be able to sign him to a new contract, maybe we should get a Jalen Ramsey package for him.
To talk about trading without talking about the upcoming contract issue is misrepresenting the "young whipper-snappers" position. Said with all due respect. (As an aside I'm not sure why you assume that those who have suggested that are young.)
They can sign him. Why not?
And...no one is going to give 2 1s for Kupp. He's good. But he ranks among a few good receivers in the league. Ramsey is a rare shut-down corner. You're comparing diamonds and pearls. There's always more of the latter than the former.
.....
I didn't say they couldn't sign him. I said there is a possibility they may not be able to sign him. I do believe that possibility exists. And even if they do sign him, there will be other really good players they will have to forego signing such as Fowler, Littleton, and Johnson.
Everyone I've seen who broached the idea of trading Kupp has done so with that larger picture in mind. It's never been about getting rid of him to stockpile draft picks as the poster that I was responding to stated.
As for how good he is, I agree that he's not as rare as Ramsey. But he is a very good WR who seems to be getting better. I believe he'd command more than a 1st in trade given he's still got time on his rookie contract. Maybe not two 1sts but one plus other picks.
