[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1070214, member: 18006"] At the risk of sounding like a broken or scratched record... :laugh: I've mentioned a number of times since 2023 that this was going to be an inevitable step in the progression of our receiver corps over the 3-5 years [I]after [/I]that 2023 "gold strike", when we were suddenly drowning in good-very good passcatchers - A), we weren't going to be able to keep them all more than a couple-few years, B) within as few as 2 years we were going to have to start making decisions on who to pay down the road and who to let move on over the following year or two, and C) how to manage those transitions. If I saw that coming in October/November of 23, I'd be horrified to learn that Gutekunst and company have not thought of it too. We've talked a lot here about who would be the first ones to move on, and Romeo's name has come up a lot. I've really thought that 2025 would be the first year we'd be likely to move someone in a trade, and I still think this is the year we are most likely to do that. And it seems that Doubs is the most likely to be on the market. As Golden develops, and Watson recovers and gets back into the groove, the smart move for Gutekunst might be to get a 3rd rounder for him in the stretch run from a team who feels they have a shot. Or even Doubs plus swapping a 4th for a 6th and a Day Two pick. Gutekunst feasts on those mid-round picks. His greatest success has come from shrewd 2nd round choices and finding maximum value in Day Three picks. Picks from those rounds have (overall) contributed more to this roster than his Day One picks. If he can flip Doubs for a 3rd and a Day 3 swap, I'd be happy.
