The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

Would love to have Metcalf, not the price tag, I would expect he'll want north of 20 mi. I have more faith then most it seems that there are 4 walk on ready to play WR's in this class and we can easily have one, maybe two because I actually think there are more then that, gonna be interesting to see how this falls out, I like a bunch of the projected second rounders, and Guty has double dipped before.Backthepack4ever wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022 15:06I would do pick 28 and some change. Yes he gonna want to get paid so that's the tricky part. I guess get it done now bc it's only gonna go up.BF004 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022 14:50I guess since its come up a lot.
What would you trade for DK Metcalf? He would currently account for about 3.9 million against the cap, although I think it would be expected to do an immediate extension.
Tyler Lockett I don't think can/should be traded this year given his contract. No one will give up a lot and the cap savings are non-existent for Seattle. Maybe next offseason you could get a 2 or a 3 maybe and some good cap savings, but just no real reason for Seattle to trade him while trying to make life easier for a QB. Although he's probably the guy I'd rather have given trade compensation, money, skill, fit, etc.
Less likely AJ Brown comes up too. I don't get Tennessee trading him at all, personally. Probably talking two 1sts, as much as I love him, he's been quite injury prone so far.
I would dangle savage (last year) a 2nd and a future 2nd maybe and see if they bite. Maybe throw love in somewhere in that and save a future pick. Alot maybe but it gets us a young stud wr and still alot of draft capitol. Imagine DK and Watson or Burks for the next 5 years. Still can add other studs elsewhere. It keeps us young and physical monsters.
Feel the exact same way about AJ Brown. Don't like trading for someone at their probably absolute highest trade value.NCF wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022 15:24I wanted DK when he was drafted, but I just don't think he is someone we should be looking at now. Just seems like too high a probability he will end up as a malcontent instead of a difference maker. Couple that with the contract we would have to pay and I just hate the fit.
So in reality, you would give no draft pick for DK, since he wants to be paid more than you consider him to be worth. That's the rub with all of these trades. It's not just the draft compensation, but the money, as well.

That's why trading for a top flight WR makes no sense. If we wanted to pay a top WR, we could have extended Davante last offseason when he was willing to. And since Davante is literally the best WR in the league, there is no replacing him. Giving up the draft capital we gained from him only to pay a lesser player top dollar is a net negative any way you slice it.
We have to evaluate and grow our own replacements.
I also don't think DK's game lends itself to creativity. He's a guy who goes forward with speed and power. Not a guy who moves well in tight spaces and is elusive.
I think he is a very limited receiver. He'll give you what MVS can do, just 10 fold better. I think he had a perfect fit for his skill set in Seattle, IMO. Run heavy, PA stretch the field style, with an amazing deep ball thrower, just put that safety in a bind in throw it up every time he gives you a chance.
I would rather have him with Davante as well. I think he needs a #1 with him.BF004 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022 16:56I think he is a very limited receiver. He'll give you what MVS can do, just 10 fold better.

I do kind of see him struggling to repeat his success in other fits and other QB's, but I think he would do great in GB, especially if he isn't the only plan at WR.
I think he's the type of guy who gets a lot better with good talent around him, vs making everyone better around him. He would be a 1800/15 receiver with Davante on the other side. 900/5 with Lazard. Which would still help us a ton and we need another target.
Brother, I love you as a human being and Packer fan. But I'm just gonna believe that you were sleeping and having a nightmare when you wrote this piece. For a moment, I thought you were seriously proposing that a straight up trade of Tae for DK would have been a good thing.texas wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022 16:38I had this discussion with my brother after the Adams trade went down. Basically, if we took what we got in the Adams trade and just shipped it to Seattle for DK and then extended him.
I had the opinion that I guess I would rather we did do that than didn't, if you're essentially looking at Adams for DK straight up, but there are better options than that. In other words, I would rather have DK than Adams at this point in their careers.
Hopefully we could get him for less.

I think DK could be a superstar with old Davante still on the team. Any team paying DK to be the guy is going to realize this epic fall off you mention a lot quicker than the 2 years you suspect is Davante's limit. I just want no part of DK unless the price is drastically reduced. I would not give higher than a single 2nd-round pick. Even that might be too high given the contract to follow.
I'd do a 3 in a heartbeat.NCF wrote: ↑01 Apr 2022 19:07I think DK could be a superstar with old Davante still on the team.
