Marcus Peters is an instance that comes to mind where this played out, and in the moment I think we all thought he was worth more than they fetched. Didn’t really turn out to be true, though.

Unless they don’t trust the knee, I’d just really prefer we keep Sneed.

I don’t think it’s gonna take a market setting deal by any means. Verderame said he spoke with a few agents and they projected his market value at 45/3. I’d give him 54/3 and not even think twice.

Joe Alt, 32)Troy Franklin, 3rd round Malachi Corley.

Ramsey went from the Jags to Rams in 2019 for two firsts and and a fourth. Ramsey I believe was 25 years old at the time of the trade. I know Sneed isnt prime Ramsey but just a general historical comparison of what a top corner in the league in his prime fetched.

To get that kind of haul for Sneed would be beyond amazing. Just need a GM like Snead who had a “F them picks” mentality.

Of course you would.

And nobody will offer that.

I think you could probably get a top 50 pick for him and maybe a little change; which actually would have some value for us since we don't have picks in the 6th or 7th.

But I'm still pretty sure I wouldn't do it. Say pick 45 and a 6th, for instance - I love the idea of the cap flexibility and maybe it's the strictly rational thing to do. But this defense was just so damn good. And it was good even in that stretch mid-season when Jones wasn't doing much.

He's just so damn crucial to what we do defensively.

With the contract and a pick I don’t think teams would give much more than a 2nd

I quite honestly have zero clue but feels like you are undervaluing his trade value.

In a league where Hollywood Brown went for pick #23 a couple years ago.

AJ Brown wasnt what I would call a superstar yet and went for pick #18 and #101.

All it takes is a couple GMs to get into a bidding war. Sneed considered the best corner in the game by many.

A team with a QB on a rookie deal that are pushing their chips in and think they are an elite corner away may reach a bit.

It’s about positional value which is why an elite WR fetches more than an elite CB. The salaries also reflect that. Sneed could reset the market and it still won’t even be close to what Jefferson or Chase will get. All you can hope for, like you mentioned is a dumb GM or two.

I mean Hollywood Brown isnt a top 25 receiver in the league. Before AJ Brown went to the Eagles Im not so sure most considered him a top 15 receiver. I hear what youre saying in regards to positional value however.

You think? Man, I'd do that in a heartbeat.

We don't get to pick above #30 EVER. I'd take our chances with this front office and coaching staff to develop young, cost controlled talent over just about any other.

I highly doubt we would get anything in that atmosphere for him, but he is the definition of a “shut down corner” that’s also in his prime, so I won’t rule it out.

No way Alt falls to 32 unless we significantly trade up which I doubt. But I like your positive attitude.;)

With Pugs here. I think the goal is to tag Sneed, get Chris done, bring back Tranquill and try to fit a low cost WR in via a Juju deal while drafting offense.

Offense doesn't need a ton. If you could get a productive first rd WR and a RB2 that is a good receiver, that changes the offense so much.

Think he was saying if potential Sneed trade got you in top ten pick territory he would draft Alt with trade compensation and then the Oregon receiver with our pick #32.
