Why would they even want one of the guys we are talking about? Just give them a 1st and a 2nd. The Raiders don’t want a rotational lineman for an elite defender. Gruden will want 2 of his own hand picked players.

 

They'll need a player for this year to replace Mack add depth... I could see them wanting a player now and a next years 1st plus more.

Throw in free Elmo’s wings for life 

 

But the free wings for life does not go into affect until he retires or moves on from Buffalo.. Can't slow the man down in his prime.

Wouldn’t  Mack just request a trade out of Buffalo then- just to get his free wings? I don’t think the team should be offering any incentive for him to leave town, wings or no wings...it’s just too risky.

Mack would be a process guy. With that contract it would be hard to offer a 1st though.

Honestly what the hell is a process guy. He's just a reallly really good player I wish we had been able to pull off a trade for

The Cooks trade actually supports my argument.

 

1.  Edge rusher is not “just below QB” in positional value.  The drop off is huge.  If qb is 10, edge is 3 or 4, even if edge is the second most valuable, which it’s not.  (That  would be WR.)

 

2.  Cooks has averaged over 1100 yds receiving the last 3 seasons.  

 

3.  Cooks turns 25 next month.  Mack turns 28 in February.  That matters.

 

4. Cooks signed a five-year extension with only $20 million guaranteed.  Mack will be looking for around $60 million guaranteed, if not more.

 

5.  You are wrong about what the Rams gave up for Cooks.  They gave up less than 23 overall.  They got Cooks and NE’s 4th round pick for 23 overall and their 6th rounder.  And at the time they made the trade, the Rams knew they were only giving up 23 overall.  The Bills would be giving up what might well be a top 10 overall pick in a draft packed with impact d-linemen and edge rushers.  Those guys will be 21-years old, and on cheap contracts through 2022.

 

6.  I think you are overestimating the number of teams seriously interested in trading for Mack.  I think it’s probably only a couple.

 

Conclusion:  The Raiders will be lucky to get someone’s 2019 first round pick for Mack, and the Bills might actually be overpaying by giving them just next year’s first.  I think Beane might get it done for a second and a player like Shaq.

 

One other conclusion:  Jon Gruden is an idiot,

 

I agree with all of it except for#1 

Teams value edge rushers very much

If a QB is 10/10 value then edge rush/dline rush, oline, cb, wr are all valued probably 6-7/10 if they are elite.

The top paid NFL players after QBs reflect this.

The top contracts are littered with CBs, "sack" specialists, WRs and oline studs.

 

It doesn't change your point overall, although cooks is not as dominant at his position as Mack is at his, so I think Mack will fetch and earn more.
