[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 989514, member: 17987"] I had actually just typed out a long post on this exact scenario but somehow got erased... Of course hindsight is 20/20 but with that said even IF it's true that Rodgers gave us the best chance to win in 2022 (rather than trading Rodgers, starting Love, and investing all those assets as needed), I have to think making that deal would've been the better long-term solution... Now to be fair it's certainly possible that Denver has a better season with Rodgers at the helm. That means the picks we'd receive in 2023 would be worse than they presently are, but still - say we make that trade AND go ahead and get the same deal to move Davante, too. That gives us 5 picks inside the top 6 in the 2022 draft, and potentially 4 inside the top 50 in 2023. Lock I consider mostly a non-factor but Fant and Harris had solid seasons for Seattle IIRC. We brought back Tonyan, added Reed in FA, and drafted Wyatt. Perhaps if we receive Fant at TE and Harris at DT we are able to approach those positions differently in the draft/free agency. Maybe we don't have to trade our two seconds to move up to get Watson - at #9 I believe all receivers except Drake London were still on the board. That means we could've had our pick of Wilson, Olave, Williams, Dotson, Burks, or still Watson. If nothing else given Love's contract situation it gives you the ability to absolutely load up around him for 2022 and assess if you want to move forward with Love as your starter. If he shows enough to make you want to keep going with him, that's great. Sign that 5th year / extension and continue to build the team around him. If not, so be it - you have the assets to move around and bring in whoever you want at QB in 2023 and should still have a solid foundation (From your loaded 22 draft) to surround whoever that is with. And of course that doesn't even address any of the cap implications... [/QUOTE]
