Who won Brown trade

[Blueforlife]

what it cost vs what  we got

more a poll for the consideration for the value of draft picks give up vs Brown's value vs. If you like it or not

[Tecno]

OTT needed to shed before getting the QB they really wanted.  Price could have been lower.  2RDP+3RDP would have been better.  And we still get our 25-snaps 2nd 2RDP.

I believe Dru is better than MBT and he will fit into our system and give us a legit backup when we need an insurance policy, even if we may not need to cash it in.  We win.

If the first-round pick is late, then yeah, I like it for us. If it's early (1-4) then...ehhhh we will see. Really too much at play to be able to judge the trade at all (as someone who hated it at first).

Sounds like someone is coming around

no. I am saying that it could be a great trade or a terrible trade. I'm just over balking at the price, I'll keep my pompoms in the drawer until Brown is our long-term QB1 (and playing like a top 4 QB)

I believe you are starting to see the potential positive side of a trade which I agree came at a price.  Yesterday you were more emotional about it and one sided in this regard imo.  I see Dru as a middle of a pack QB.  Top 4 isn't realistic unless a weaker QB group at that time.

The thing is if Zac doesn't return . What are our options,
Elgersma has potential but completely unknown as to how he will develop
Perkins is serviceable but thats it
Rourke, Harris,BLM Kelly, Davis, etc aren't moving here.
Finding a starting quality qb is very hard

No, there are still multiple unanswered questions regarding the trade. Just I am going to let it play out before bemoaning it too much (or fanboying it too much). You don't know me so don't try to psychoanalyze me. Stick to football.

Also, surprised you don't think Brown could be a top 4 QB.

Could in a weaker field.  I see as average best guess.  Always been  Brown supporter but his injuries will impact his ceiling now.

I am sticking to football, yesterday you were hard core against the trade now I see a person on the fence based on your comments and tone, seen others do the same.  I believe many are digesting the news.

Dru Brown is a risk...draft picks are risks...it's a wash at this point.  Zach goes down in the Grey Cup and Brown comes in and scores the game winning TD then we win the trade...he breaks his leg on his first play - we lose.

WFC is betting that our pick will be very late, and Ott's 2nd rounder will be very early.  So only a few spots at most.  And the second pick is conditional.

Not a huge price to pay, unless we are last in the league, and Ott wins the GC.

My understanding is that the second round pick we get back is actually our own second round pick that we previously traded to Ottawa.
We give them our 2027 first round pick.
And the 2028 second round pick that we send to them is conditional, but the condition is that it is upgraded to our first round pick in 2028 if Dru plays enough for us in 2027.
So not quite as good as you think, but still worth it IMO.

The 'known' quantity is Dru Brown...all others involved in the deal are conjecture and unknowns.... As of now we win ...  Short sighted?? maybe but I've always been someone who likes the bird in hand rather than the two in the bush

Was that original draft pick from the Dante Daniels move in the draft?
