Tell me more about Ladd Mitchell Worthy. Can he play?

Give up 28, 128, 160 and 163 this year. Along with next year's 1st, one of our 2nds and a 4th next year. The Cardinals have 3 3rd round picks this year so we get any one of those back this year and we would still have our 2024 1st (4th overall) 2nd (60th overall) 3rd (71st or 90th overall) from Cardinals 4th (133 overall) 5th (144th overall) 6th (200 overall) 6th (204 overall) 7th (248 overall) 8 picks 2025 (2nd rounder) (3rd rounder) (5th rounder) (6th rounder) (6th rounder) (7th rounder) And possibly even get our 2025 4th back via trade or compensatory. We could essentially only lose a 1st round pick next year when all is said and done. I'd do this in a heartbeat

If we manage to do that, and get a 3rd back this year. Depending on what picks we have next year, we may only lose a 1st round pick and a 4th next year in all of this. Because next year losing one 2nd a first and a 4th would still give us another 2nd and 3rd at the very least to play around with next year. We could even get the 4th back from a trade or a compensatory pick

I do like the idea of getting number 66 back from them, though. Like you said, they have 3 3rd rounders. Getting anyone of them back would work

I don't know if I would give up both 2nds next year but I would gladly give up one. We have 3 fifth round picks this year, I'd be fine giving up 2 along with a 4th this year since we have 2 of those and see if we can get a 3rd back this year. Use a 1st, one of our 2's and a 4th or 5th next year. I'd do it

No, I don't think it would. The Julio Jones trade didn't give up a first round pick 2 years later to move from 27 to 6. We shouldn't have to either. If we gave up 28, 128, 144 or 160 this year or both and put 1st, 2nd and 4th or 5th next year, it should get it done. It's 6 picks between this year and next years draft. You don't need to dig into 2026 to do it

You won't have to give up a 2026 1st time make that happen. A 2025 first, 2nd and a middle round pick along with a 1st and one of our mid round picks this year should get it done

7 years ago, yes. Now? No

Arthur Blank: "Bill, do you have any explanation for your 36-44 record in Cleveland without Brady? Or your 5-11 season in 2000 in New England before Brady? You know you had only one win better than Rich Kotite in the same amount of games coached your first 6 seasons as HC, right? What about your 0-2 start in 2001 before Mo Lewis changed your legacy forever? Or your 29-38 record after Brady left NE? You know he won a Super Bowl without you? Any explanation on any of that? Belichick: "No" Blank: "ok, well, we'll let you know. Don't call us, we'll call you" That's why Belichick didn't get hired

I do think there had been some bad luck along the way. I've never seen a team get ravaged with injuries as bad as we have the last 2 years. Yes, injuries happen to every team but when it's all mainly on one said of the ball, it takes a toll. I think the Hamlin thing took it's toll on the team in 22 as well and put the nail in their season. Outside of 13 seconds, I don't think everything that has went wrong was in McDermott's control. And as far as Andy Reid having bad luck. I say yes, he had QBs that were good enough, to get him to the playoffs, just not over the final hurdle with Mahomes. I've never seen a guy have some much success with average to mediocre QB play as much as Andy Reid did and took it about as far as he could. If he even had a QB a little bit better than McNabb, he probably wins a ring or 2 in Philly. And he squeezed as much as he could get out of Alex Smith to but again, I don't think anyone on the planet wad winning a Super Bowl with Alex Smith as QB but yet Andy Reid got the most put of Alex Smith of anyone in Smith's career. All it took for Reid was they final push he needed with a QB like Mahomes and he finally got there. What McDermott has had with Allen and not done anything with, is nowhere near the comparison of Andy Reid had to deal with in Philly and KC before Mahomes because he never had a QB of that caliber. McDermott does. And if we can stay healthy for once all season, maybe things can he a little different

Reid was good enough to win one back before Mahomes, though. It was mostly bad luck. He went to 4 straight championship games and then finally got to a Super Bowl with McNabb. And then went to another Championship game a few years later with McNabb also. He goes to KC and gets Alex Smith, has success with him as well getting to the playoffs every year. Mahomes finally did get him over the edge but Reid was good enough to win a Super Bowl before him. He just needed the little extra QB talent to carry him over that final hurdle. It's not like Belichick who did nothing in his career when Brady wasn't his QB

Diva

Mahomes would have no Super Bowls if we drafted him to. So, not so sure why so many people attack McDermott for that

False

Do you ever actually look at things before you make arguments? He has had 100 catches or more 5 of the last 7 seasons, and over 1000 yards in all but one of those including last year and the only season he didn't was because he missed some time. How do you figure he is barely a WR 2 now?

He was very good in 2022 before his catastrophic injury. He started coming back to form a bit last season. We will have to see what happens. But a healthy in form Kupp, I'm taking over Aiyuk It's about which WRs are top 10 guys right now. Of course I would take age and potential over a 33 year old guy but if a 33 year old guy is better than the 25 year old guy right now, I am going to acknowledge that.

Olave, I will give you. How about DJ Moore? And Kupp healthy isn't better than Aiyuk?

Ok. You need to stop caring about age right now. If you wanted to give me Keenan Allen at Aiyuk's age. I'm taking Allen all day. And Adams had Garoppolo and Aiden O'Connell throwing to him last year and you're gonna say he is in decline? Lol. Give me Mike Evans right now at Aiyuk's age and I am taking Evans. I actually forgot about DJ Moore and maybe Garrett Wilson. Kupp had a catastrophic knee injury 2 years ago and just bounced back last year and got more into form as the year went on. Healthy, I'm taking Kupp. They are just better than Aiyuk, sorry

Jefferson, Chase, Lamb, Hill, AJ Brown, St. Brown, Kupp, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, Chris Olave, Nakua, Keenan Allen, Garrett Wilson I would put Aiyuk more on the Jaylen Waddle, Terry McLaurin, Amari Cooper, Michael Pittman, DK Metcalf level. But he is top 15

3 or 4? No way

Where do you rank Tee Higgins and do you think Aiyuk is really that much better than him right now? To me, at this point, if you traded for either one, you would be getting the same player

I'm not just going by yards. I'm going by the eye test. Jamaar Chase isn't on that list and I would take him over Ayuik every time. Aiyuk is more Tee Higgins to me right now than anywhere in the top 10 category

Really? I wouldn't say that. If you wanna get into top 15 or top 20, I will listen Me thinks so too

The 1pm truthers right now

If he has a 12 or 13 sack season, is he still gone after the season?
