DHopkins would cost a 2nd round pick...would you do it?

[Rubes]

 

[NeverOutNick]

Only if they’re paying the majority of his contract

[SCBills]

I voted no, but I’d be open to it if it’s cap friendly for the next two years. 

[aristocrat]

can it be next years?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Absolutely yes with zero hesitation. People overvalue the draft way too much. Get the guy we know is great right now and try to win the Super Bowl.

[frostbitmic]

I voted yes but only if something can be done about his contract. I wouldn't trade a 2nd for a one year rental.

[buffalo2218]

I'd have to say yes to this, especially if Hopkins is willing to work with a team to ease any cap issues. 

[Mr. WEO]

let me consult the 216 page thread on this!!

Why are you trying to keep picks in this draft? If ever there was a draft in which to give away picks it is this one. 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Does DHop tend to DRop? 🤔

[Chicken Boo]

Look at Beane's history of 2nd rounders. 

 

An emphatic yes!  

 

You want to win a Super Bowl or not?

[Maynard]

Yup! Easy!! 

 

This draft is awful.
 

Hop wants to be here.

 

Fills an immediate need with a super star.

 

Willing to work with the FO on the contact. 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Of course check on the contract situation, but YES in a heartbeat. This offense becomes really tough to deal with adding him.

[BarleyNY]

Nope. Not happening for a second round pick. Not with that contract. My caveat is that if AZ wants to eat a huge portion of his salary this year then I’d change my answer to yes. But I do not think they will do that. Fifth round to get it done or I wait until they have to cut him.

[K D]

If Arizona pays half his contract then sure

[JJGauna]

It’s either DHop and a restructured contract or another 2nd round RB, you pick lol.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

If traded to any other team, the deal should be signed in an IHOP.

Reference his TD catch against the Bills with White, Hyde & Poyer all mugging him. He was one of the top receivers in the league, with Allen throwing him the ball, he could be again.

 

I think the Chiefs want him too, that's something else to consider.

I don't think the Cardinals are getting a second round pick for DHop, even if they are willing to eat some of this contract.

[sven233]

That may be what they want (if it is, the asking price has already dropped a bit from where it was several weeks ago if the reports are true), but that probably won't be the final price.  I've thought all along a 3rd (and maybe a late rounder) gets the deal done as long as they eat some of the contract. 

 

If I'm Beane, I find a way to get this done.  Yes, picks are important, but they are meant to find impact players for our team.  No matter who we draft this year in rounds 3 or later, they won't have near the impact that Hopkins would for us over the next couple of seasons.  Heck, depending on who we take in the 1st round, they may not have nearly the effect that Hopkins would on our team.  He immediately takes our WR corps from slightly above average to one of the best in the league if everyone stays healthy.  No WR in this draft will do that.  No other player in the entire draft can make that happen, including the top WRs there.  So yeah.....find a way to get this done for a 3rd or later, still be able to draft the best players available with your first 2 picks and this draft will be a success.
