Report: teams believe Seahawks want 3 1st-rounders in a deal for Wilson to start [Speculation]. Would you do it? (1 Viewer)

[Meachemdat]

My question is if you owned Wilson, or Watson for that matter, would you even take what would probably be 3 1st round picks at 25 or later for him?

Probably not, unless we are the only team willing to cough up the picks.

Would you trade 3 1st rounders for another Lombardi? Because with Russ we get one. So the answer is yes.

The Saints' super bowl window (WITH THE CURRENT ROSTER) is 3-4 years.

The superstars who makes this roster a superbowl caliber team aren't going to be 23 year olds forever.

Kamara is almost 26 (so, maybe 4 more years of good play left due to RB shelf life?), CGM is almost 28 (so, maybe 3 more years of good play left?), Cam is almost 32 (so, maybe 2 more years left?), DD is 32 (so, maybe 2 more years left?).

Point is, I understand trading for Wilson "will set us back for years (...let's say maybe 3 years)"....But, if your superbowl window is already 3 years anyways, then why not trade for him?

Why is it important to keep those 3 first rounders if you believe your current roster is already super-bowl ready with Wilson? I personally don't see the need for those 3 first round picks. Remember, you still have your 2nd and 3rd round picks to work with in the draft...

Someone help me with this logic. I don't mind if you disagree, but do explain why my logic is wrong.

You got it bro. I agree. If the idea is the window is now. Then use the window. Cause it’s gonna close. Your going to have to totally rebuild anyways.

Can we do 2 first round picks and Michael Thomas?

 

[NOLAJM504]

I would do it in a heartbeat and not look back. This gives us another 10+ years of MVP-level QB play. Look at what Stafford brought in and he's not nearly as good as Wilson.

Are we just assuming everyone is going to play till 43 now?

 

[GeauxSainz]

Will they settle for two 1sts and Swimmer?

 

[strandedsaint]

I WANT RUSSELL WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, but I'm assuming RW will.

 

[NOLAJM504]

Nope, but I'm assuming RW will.

Id love him, but I don't know if you can pencil him in for a whole decade. His tires lost a lost of tread the last couple of years behind that line.

As much as I like Thomas, his attitude will be a problem in the future. I honestly think you could do a 1st, 2nd, and Thomas possibly.

7 or 8 would do just fine.. and be well worth it.

 

[Noble Saint]

As long as we run the ball on 1st and goal from the 1 at the end of the Super Bowl, I think it would be worth it.

 

[DaveXA]

There is not a draft pick... or three.... or four.... that’s not worth Rus Wilson. He’s an instant MVP in our offense, and makes us SB ready on day 1.

So even though it won’t happen... yeah! Why not? Lol

Pretty much where I'm at as well.

 

[lapaz]

Nope, but I'm assuming RW will.

Wilson is a running QB, so you can’t compare him to pocket QBs to surmise how long he will play. Pocket QBs are highly protected, but once they start running, they lose that protection. Also, people slow down so their running becomes less effective.

I get the arguments people are making about the surety of Wilson today making him worth 3 late first rounders, but there is no surety if he has to change his style to extend his career.

They want 3 1st Round Picks again? Those pancake eating mother.........
