It's not going to be easy for a lot of the draft picks, UDFAs and even a few of the signings (Hardman / Simmons) to make the roster let alone see significant snaps.
Who at each position do you think given the roster structure actually could be a trade piece for Gute and them to keep the growth of folks going? You have to declare one in each position group for the exercise
QB
Malik Willis - Only by default he has to be the one of course. He for sure holds attraction for other teams, it would be the value of return however that both sides would likely argue over...however this exercise isn't a discussion of what you think a guy could get you - although I'd suspect a team calling about him would likely know anything less than a package starting with a 4th wouldn't even get transferred to Gute lol
RB
This one is tough...Jacobs would never be allowed to be considered...so it's Lloyd, Wilson or Brooks...I think if anyone called about anyone it would be a team that was high on Lloyd or has liked what Wilson has shown (perhaps a team that has seen him in preseason contests rake)....but ultimately I would bet if an announcement came through that we traded a RB it actually would be Lloyd if I had to provide something.
TE
This to me is Luke Musgrave and I think he could be the sneaky trade piece anyways for a team truthfully. When healthy he has shown out and a team in desperate need of a TE could call...last year this team was efficient with Sims and Fitzpatrick backing Kraft up...Savion could provide a little bit of what Musgrave does already so while I don't think this ever happens...in the TE room he is the only one that makes sense.
WR
I've said Doubs before, but with Watson out, I don't think Gute would get offered the capital he would need in return to justify taking away one of the most steady WRs we have. With Golden and Savion drafted, plus Mecole brought in, I truly think Malik Heath (Bo Melton possibly) is getting turned into a 7th rounder somewhere honestly - or a player swap.
OL
It has to be Sean Rhyan or Rasheed Walker, both on expiring contracts...Morgan in the waiting now a second round Belton and John Williams who can absolutely play...plus Monk progressing hopefully...it just makes too much sense.
DL
I don't see anything happening here but, since we have to mention one I think it would have to be Kenny Clark...as I don't think anyone calls about Brooks / Wooden / Wyatt(especially now that Packers picked up his 5th year option)
EDGE
While some of the fan base wants the answer to be LVN, I don't think Gute at all would come off of him as he started showcasing last year everything they envisioned likely when they drafted the incredibly young kid from Iowa. Kingsley Enagbare has starting experience, has delivered before in the league and a team needing an edge might find him attractive and with the addition of now two more edges in the draft, plus the emergence of Cox last year might leave the room needing some ability to breathe if you will. Kingsley is my pick.
LB
In truth Quay has to be this one as well...Cooper would be a non-negotiable IMO. As contracts currently sit, Quay has the most attraction from other teams - has been a starter essentially his entire NFL life and is extremely athletic, and really started showing out last year more and more than he ever had.
CB
Jaire...no need for discussion....now outside chance I'd say Nixon if Jaire stays and Valentine or Hobbs beats Nixon out (which they ought to) for the starting opposite wide corner)...but that isn't the world we are presently as I pose this question.
S
Bullard 100%.....Hobbs has shown better in slot coverage in his career...Nixon is a solid slot option...Johnathan Baldwin from UNLV is a dude I REALLY think we have to find a spot for and he is a safety that excels again in slot. I don't want to trade Bullard, as I am very high on him, but I'm even higher on Evan Williams and in truth Bullard could be a shocking piece that has very attractive traits and contract for another team that could be safety hungry.
