Trade Odell for a teams draft board?

Rolyrock : 2/19/2018 4:17 pm
Like a Ricky Williams, Herschel Walker type trade.
Would you do it?
No.

What's the point of even discussing it? No one is offering this.
Being that it's a discussion board  
bradshaw44 : 2/19/2018 4:24 pm : link
during the slowest time of the season, I don't mind discussing random things like this idea.

I would do it in a heart beat. Look what that did for dallas, 3 super bowls in a small window. I'd take it.
If Cleveland made that offer

Yes I'd take their entire draft board in 2018 for OBJ. But...they won't. :)
No one is going to make that offer

OBJ is coming off a significant injury and is entering his contract year.

I'd probably do it for the 1st and 4th pick TBH.

1. Darnold
2. Barkley
4. Nelson

Broken ankle is not a significant injury in reality. Torn ligaments, yes. Torn achilles, yes. Broken ankle - meh. He's running already. They wouldn't let him touch that Super Bowl commercial if it was significant.

Contract year is more significant, but any team willing to trade 7 picks for 1 player is willing to cough up big bucks.
he had the best possible season ending injury  
UConn4523 : 2/19/2018 4:37 pm : link
no damage to knee and no break in the foot, it wasn't spinal, and he didn't tear anything. He's been working out for a while and running, I'd be pretty surprised if he's not right back to where he was pre-injury.
You can't have my Draft Board...

Discussion sake, or do you really believe there is a team that would give up their entire draft for him
CLEVELAND,  
old man : 2/19/2018 5:03 pm : link
Indy, Denver, JETS, thinking hard about it; obviously Cleveland, and the Jets have the 6,37,49 in rounds 1+2 and like Cleveland can buy lots of players with their cap room(77Million), and both could afford him.
And their GMs would be killed, literally.
But hey! YKW won SB 52 so anything can happen!
Another great ‘trade Odell’ idea...  
est1986 : 2/19/2018 5:07 pm : link
When will this stop? You deserve Preston Parker and Roger Lewis as your starting WR’s for life.
No  
mrvax : 2/19/2018 5:09 pm : link
because you can only really count on round 1 and round 2 with round 3 beginning to get dicey (with the bust/non-starter rate). If a team would give 1,2,3 this year and 1,2,3 next then we can start talking.
If we get to hold onto New Orleans' #1,  
Mad Mike : 2/19/2018 5:10 pm : link
you have to at least consider it.
I'd trade Beckham for the right deal

Discussion, but I never doubt that anything can happen in sports.

Odell comes up as tradable because his antics. Other stars had displayed similar behavior and it has cost their team some level success. Thus...

Posts like this are incredible to me.

You'd think this guy has committed 5 felonies already and been a major lockerroom problem.

Good lord. Enough.
I'm generally inclined to keep the potential HOF player  
ChaChing : 2/19/2018 6:22 pm : link
But still think there's always a price

I'd more be after several years worth of picks. I couldn't give an exact number, but say CLE's next 3 1sts / 2nds maybe 3rds, AND this years 3-4 for example. I have no idea what the point value is but IMO if I'm giving up years of likely #1-5 level play at a position if not league, I'm need longevity not just qty

But given the small likelihood of such a haul and OBJ's proven value (even after this injury - not a joint, much more likely to come back 100%), I'm not really thinking of trading this man
Also worth noting, for the sake of argument  
ChaChing : 2/19/2018 6:31 pm : link
this is only even 'possible' in my view if you're at the full rebuild / restart spot, which given a new GM, HC, staff etc, we are. So this would be the only time if ever. A team that's in the playoff hunt if not a legit contender is even less likely

There are always exceptions, but for example PIT trading AB or LB (LB's hints of leaving being the only decent exception fwiw)...generally not a smart move IMO
I would bet the average fan that goes on about Odell's antics is 70  
BestFeature : 2/19/2018 7:09 pm : link
years old. I think he comes off as a moron often, but your sanctimonious outrage and preference for a weaker team because back in 1942 players were robots makes me wonder about your priorities.

FWIW, if a team offered their entire draft for 13, I'd take it.

As a wise Ted Dibiase once said, "everyone's got a price."

But no one is offering their entire draft for Beckham, so there's really not much point in discussing it.



So you (and many others here) would happily trade

Beckham for a first and second rounder and a whole bunch of crap?

That deal isn't really that awesome.
Dallas got a lot more premium beef  
djm : 2/19/2018 7:45 pm : link
In return for a fading Hershel walker who was older and worn down.
This is only possible if Mike Ditka gets hired as coach.  
JohnF : 2/19/2018 8:16 pm : link
Hell, OBJ is better than Ricky Williams, right? Even better, we REALLY get the Saints #1 pick!
Just the board?  
robbieballs2003 : 2/19/2018 9:11 pm : link
Do we get any picks or players?
